From the vet at the wildlife rescue center: In the past few years, he's noticed more wild critters being abandoned by their mothers earlier than in the decades past that he has been practicing.
He said this is especially true for the squirrel monkeys and the two-toed sloths (the one here was a three-toed critter, but he said even then, that's not all that unusual).
No ready answer for the phenomenon, but he is a curious sort and has mentioned doing a study or three about everything. Would be interesting to find out what's what with the critters.
