Bradypus torquatus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) [PDF]

open access: yesMammalian Species, 2009
Abstract Bradypus torquatus Illiger, 1811 is a three-toed sloth commonly called the maned three-toed sloth. It is endemic to the Atlantic coastal forests of southeastern Brazil. Occasionally placed in its own genus (Scaeopus), the black mane of this three-toed sloth is distinctive. Like other sloths, B.

Bradypus variegatus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) [PDF]

open access: yesMammalian Species, 2010
Abstract Bradypus variegatus Schinz, 1825 (the brown-throated three-toed sloth), is 1 of 4 extant three-toed sloths. A high-canopy folivore, B. variegatus is distributed over southern Central America and northern and central South America and is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources because ...

Captive health and husbandry of the Bradypodidae

Zoo Biology, 2005
Members of the Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths) are rarely seen in the zoological setting. To date, minimal published accounts of the medicine and husbandry needs of this family have been documented. It therefore is often presumed that the same techniques of care and handling of the genus Choleopus (two-toed sloths) can be applied; however, these taxa ...

A translocation experiment for the conservation of maned sloths, Bradypus torquatus (Xenarthra, Bradypodidae)

Biological Conservation, 2004
Abstract The maned sloth is a poorly known species endemic to the highly fragmented and disturbed Brazilian Atlantic forest. As this species has a strictly forest habitat and low dispersion ability, it is susceptible to local extinctions in small and isolated fragments. The project started in 1994, translocating stranded sloths found within or nearby

Mitogenomics phylogenetic relationships of the current sloth’s genera and species (Bradypodidae and Megalonychidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2017
We sequenced the complete mitogenome of 39 sloths (19 Bradypus variegatus, 4 B. tridactylus, 1 B. pygmaeus, 1 B. torquatus, 4 Choloepus didactylus, and 10 C. hoffmanni). A Bayesian tree (BI) indicated a temporal split between Bradypus and Choloepus around 31 million years ago (MYA, Oligocene) and the other major splits within each genera during the ...

Three toes and three modes: Dynamics of terrestrial, suspensory, and vertical locomotion in brown‐throated three‐toed sloths (Bradypodidae, Xenarthra)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023
AbstractLiving sloths exhibit numerous anatomical specializations towards inverted quadrupedalism, however, previous studies have noted a more varied locomotor repertoire than previously anticipated. In this study, we present spatiotemporal gait characteristics and triaxial kinetic data from the brown‐throated three‐toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus ...

Every flight is a surprise: first records of the southern maned three-toed sloth (Bradypus crinitus: Bradypodidae) through drones

Mammalia, 2023
Abstract Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs), are an advanced technology that allows the collection of large amounts of data in a short amount of time, including the detection of cryptic and arboreal animals. Here, we report the first records of the southern maned sloth Bradypus crinitus obtained with thermal cameras from a drone. As
