The hand indicates it is a Hoffman’s Two-toed Sloth Though color could work as either 2 or 3-toed. Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica |
There’s a pink-nosed juvenile above what is probably the mother sloth. Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica |
The typical sloth sighting, a ball of fur in the tree. Sleeping sloth! You are lucky to find one awake and moving! Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica |
See more sloths and other mammal photos in my Costa Rica Mammals PHOTO GALLERY

And only one or two more posts to finish sharing my nature photos from Tortuguero. Hopefully you can see why I love that park (among others I also love!).
