The pygmy three-toed sloth is found exclusively in the red mangrove habitat of Isla Escudos de Veraguas. The range of this type of sloth is thus highly restricted to an area of about 4.3 square km. According to a 2012 census, the pygmy three-toed sloths had a population of only 79 individuals. It is thus classified as a critically endangered species.

The arms of these sloths are almost twice the length of their hindlegs, and the limbs are weak and long in general. Males are 45 to 55 cm long and have a short tail. The body of the pale-throated sloth is blackish-grey in color and males have a bright orange or yellow colored patch on the back.
Where Do These Sloths Live?
The pale-throated sloth inhabits only the tropical forests present in the northern parts of South America. The range of these sloths includes Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Colombia, Venezuela, and parts of Brazil that are north of the Amazon River.
2. Brown-Throated Sloth
The body length of this type of sloth (Bradypus variegatus) ranges from 42 to 80 cm, and it weighs between 2.25 and 6.3 kg. It has a relatively short tail which is about 2.5 to 9 cm long.

The brown-throated sloth inhabits a wide variety of habitats including dry and evergreen forests.

Sloth Snacks
The maned three-toed sloth or the Bradypus torquatus is a type of sloth which attains a length of about 50 cm and weighs around 4.5 kg. These sloths have small heads, eyes, and ears. Their small tail remains hidden beneath the fur. The coat of these sloths is long and dark with mane-like fur around the head and neck. The maned three-toed sloths feed on plant parts of selective forest trees like the Cecropia.
Where Do These Sloths Live?
The maned three-toed sloth currently has a highly restricted range that is confined to southeastern Brazil’s Atlantic coastal rainforest. It generally inhabits evergreen forests, but since it can consume a wide range of leaves, the maned three-toed sloths are also found in the semi-deciduous and secondary forest. The sloths inhabit areas with a hot and humid climate with an annual rainfall of minimum 120 cm and an absence of a dry season.
Chili Lime Nuts
Sloth Party Snacks
A handful of nuts. Every nutritionist or dietician or healthy celebrity’s recommendation of a snack. Sounds like…DISSAPPOINTMENT. And sadness. I tried to do this for a long time – nuts ARE a great snack, if you’re not allergic to them. They have healthy fats to keep you full. They have fiber and protein and lots of vitamins and nutrients that are good for you! Win win win. But having just a handful of almonds makes me oh so sad compare to say… a handful of doritos. I really like my snacks. Plain almonds just doesn’t quite cut it for me. I like lots of flavor and zip and spice. What I prefer is more along the lines of um…. flavor blasted goldfish. If anything is called “flavor blasted ____” for example, it will be in my cart. So I guess that’s what these are- loaded with tons of flavor with spicy chili powder and zippy lime.
