 Quepolandia Quepos Manuel Antonio Costa Rica
But let me back up a bit and explain.
Dorothy, Bill and I were about as high as a 12 story building, on a platform suspended in the crown of an enormous rain forest tree called a “camarón” (Licania operculipetala.) We were observing a male three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus,) which was hanging from the upper branches of another tree about 40 meters away.
We knew for sure that it was a male, because its back was turned toward us, and we could see the swath of short hair and the wide fl stripe between his shoulders, this feature being absent in females.
