sloth

Mr Tardy captured a brown‑throated three‑toed sloth clinging to a barbed wire post after crossing a road.

They say giant sloths walking the land were an easy target for the first human hunters.

Their blood temperature fluctuates with the ambient temperature, a rare trait among mammals that they share with the sloth.

A sloth has had pioneering dental surgery to cure toothache.

And so much more illness is on the rise, from Victorian-era diseases like tuberculosis to novel tropical diseases like “sloth fever.”
