Bradypus tridactylus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2009 Bradypus tridactylus Linnaeus, 1758, is commonly called the pale-throated sloth. Males have a middorsal speculum. B. tridactylus is endemic to rain forests of northeastern South America. Like other sloths, B. tridactylus is a high-canopy folivore. It has a commensal relationship with the algae and invertebrates that live in its abundant pelage.

Architectural Properties of Sloth Forelimb Muscles (Pilosa: Bradypodidae)
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2017 Tree sloths have reduced skeletal muscle mass, and yet they are able to perform suspensory behaviors that require both strength and fatigue resistance to suspend their body mass for extended periods of time. The muscle architecture of sloths is hypothesized to be modified in ways that will enhance force production to compensate for this reduction in ...
