	An Introduction to the Sloths of Costa Rica: Their Ecological Significance and Adapta
		Studies based on various measurements of the skull, lower jaw, hyoid and dentition, exhibited the two-toed sloth is related to the extinct members of the Megalonychidae family (the extinct ground sloth from N. and S. America); whereas the three-toed sloth is positioned as the sister-taxon to all other sloths (1).
		They (Bradypus sp.) have been found to warm themselves in the sunlight, and on cloudy days their body temperature may be only 5 degrees Celsius more than the ambient (5).
		In another species of three-toed sloth, Bradypus griseus, it was recorded that an individual moved 10 feet to the main trunk of a tree in less than one minute during a rainstorm (4).

	Costa Rica - 3 toed Sloth
		This medium-sized mammal is perhaps the most important vertebrate primary consumer in the canopy of the moist Neotropical forests.
		There are fewer than six species of Bradypus distributed in lowland moist from Honduras to northern Argentina and Paraguay.
		The myth of relationship between three-toed sloths and Cecropia and very few other tree species are exceptions, and most casual sightings of three-toed sloths are and large leaves that grow near the ends of the branches; thus a sloth in a Cecropia tree is relatively easy to see.
