Sloths of the Atlantic Forest in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 ABSTRACT Sloths were a curiosity item for Europeans in the 16th and 17th centuries, and several descriptions of them exist in bestiaries and texts of that time. Here, we assemble the descriptions and drawings of sloths from the travellers and naturalists of those centuries in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
