A Big Sloth "Every particle of factual evidence supports the factual contention that the higher mammalian vertebrates experience pain sensations at least as acute as our own. To say that they feel pain less because they are lower animals is an absurdity; it can easily be shown that many of their senses are far more acute than ours - visual acuity in certain birds, hearing in most wild animals, and touch in others; these animals depend more than we do today on a the sharpest possible awareness of a hostile environment. Apart from the complexity of the cerebral cortex (which does not directly perceive pain) their nervous systems are almost identical to ours and their reaction to pain remarkably similar, though lacking (so far as we know) the philosophical and moral overtones. The emotional element is all too evident, mainly in the form of fear and anger." Richard Serjeant sloths.org Sleepy Sloth A Baby Sloth Sloth Hotlinks ... BLTC Research E-mail Dave dave@hedweb.com

There can be as many sloths as eight per hectare, which is an extremely high density for such a large, solitary mammal. Sloths are some of the most arboreal of mammals, spending almost their entire lives in the trees. There are five species total of the "three-toed" and "two-toed" sloths, all inhabiting the tropical forests of Central and South America. Sloths are very hard to see, simply because they move so rarely, and when they do move it is very slowly indeed they have been known to take as long as a day in the process of moving from one tree to the next. A mother sloth and a baby hang upside-down in a tree. Photo courtesy Naomi Woods. The sloth’s adaptations for life in the forest canopy have only been recently studied. Sloths are almost incapable of moving, or even standing on the ground. They can’t stand upright because their feet are essentially large hooks: their toes have long, curved claws which are perfect for hanging from tree branches, but are useless for standing on. In their forest habitat, however, their hook-like claws provide a far more reliable grip on tree branches than the grasp of a normal "fist". sloths page 1 of 3 related topics [tropical rainforests] [arboreal adaptations] view the condensed version of the sloths article for faster printing/reading return to the mammals article

Fossils of these bizarre animals were first discovered in South America and had been studied by European scientists, including Georges Cuvier and Richard Owen. The North American ground sloths were poorly known until Joseph Leidy published "A Memoir of the Extinct Sloth Tribe of North America." in 1855 . This 68 page article provided a detailed summary of the current state of knowledge at that time regarding the North American species. It also provided the first detailed description of the best known species, Megalonyx jeffersonii (Jefferson's ground sloth) Claw and finger bones from the front limb of Megalonyx jeffersonii.

Tree dwellers, sloths carry out pretty much every activity in a suspended position high in the canopy. That's right! Sloths eat, rest, give birth, raise their young, and sleep upside-down in trees. They climb down to the ground only to use the bathroom (about once a week) or to find a different tree. So, exactly how slow do sloths move? When sloths are in trees, their average speed is merely 360-480 feet per hour. In the case of an emergency, sloths can "accelerate" to 900 feet per hour. When sloths are on the ground, they move awkwardly and cover just 52.80 feet per hour!

Photosynthetic Sloths of Amazonia a mere One River by Wade Davis! The three-toed sloth is a gentle herbivore. Its slow movements, together with its cryptic coloration, protect it from its major predator, the harpy eagle. Viewed up close, the sloth appears as a hallucination, an ecosystem unto itself that softly vibrates with hundreds of exoparasites. The animal's mottled appearance is due in part to a blue-green alga that lives symbiotically within its hollow hairs. A dozen varieties of arthropods burrow beneath its fur; a single sloth weighing a mere ten pounds may be home to over a thousand beetles. The life cycles of these insects are completely tied to the daily round of the sloth. With its excruciatingly slow metabolism, the sloth defacates only once a week. The animal climbs down from the canopy, excavates a small depression at the foot of the tree, voids its feces, and then returns back up. Mites, beetles, and even a few species of moth leap off the sloth, deposit an egg in the dung, and climb back onto their host for a ride up the tree. The eggs germinate, and in one way or another, the young insects find another sloth to call home. Why would this animal go down to the base of the tree, exposing itself to all forms of terrestrial predation, when it could just as easily deficate from the treetops?

The three species of three-toed sloths are smaller than the two-toed. Their head-body length ranges from about 18-24 in (50-60 cm), with a weight of only about 9 lb (4 kg). The two-toed species are larger, with a head-body length up to 28 in (70 cm) and weighing up to 17 lb (8 kg). The famed extinct ground sloth, Mylodon listai, which was about the size of an elephant , belonged to the two-toed family. Sloths have quite flat faces on very round heads, with round eyes, a round snout, and round nostrils. Even their tiny round ears are hidden in their coarse, dense fur.

Study Shows Big Game Hunters, Not Climate Change, Killed Off Sloths Prehistoric big game hunters and not the last ice age are the likely culprits in the extinction of giant ground sloths and other North American great mammals such as mammoths, mastodons and saber-toothed tigers, says a University of Florida researcher. Determining whether the first arrival of humans or the warm-up of the American continent at the end of the last Ice Age was responsible for the demise of prehistoric sloths has puzzled scientists because both events occurred at the same time, about 11,000 years ago. But by using radiocarbon to date fossils from Cuba and Hispaniola, where humans appeared later than on the North American continent, long after the last Ice Age occurred, UF ornithologist David Steadman was able to separate the two events. He and his colleagues found the last record of West Indian ground sloths coincided with the arrival of humans 4,400 years ago. The results are published in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper this week.

Description Giant ground sloths have to be among the strangest mammals that ever walked on Earth. Their living relatives include the tree sloths, and more distantly the anteaters, and armadillos. Unlike living tree sloths, the extinct sloths were large, ponderous animals that presumably spent all their time on the ground. Three different genera Nothrotheriops Megalonyx and Paramylodon Paramylodon was the largest of the three, standing up to 6 feet tall (1.82 meters), and weighing up to 3500 pounds (1590 kg). Harlan's ground sloths had elongate skulls, broad and blunt snouts, and lobate cheek teeth with flattened crowns. Huge claws on their feet were a striking feature. Due to a special modification of the foot, the weight of the animal was actually borne by the heel bone and the outside edge of the foot. Because of this, scientists believe that ground sloths must have walked with a waddling motion.
