Recently, over by the Monkey tree house, there has been a young two-toed sloth hanging about.There are quite a few sloths hanging about here at any given time, it's just a challenge to spot them. And, for every 10 that we see, eight or nine are the three-toed variety. So getting to see a two-toed bugger is a nice surprise.
Yes, the claws are the giveaway with the two- and three-toed varieties. Also, the two-toed has more of a white face and the fur is a bit more brown, whereas the three-toed are more of a uniform gray color all the way around.
Our best guess is that this little two-toed critter has just been cut loose by its mom (it's mating season and there is a young three-toed sloth up by the gate as well) and is staking out its territory.
