Sloths like it hot: ambient temperature modulates food intake in the brown-throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Sloths are considered to have one of the lowest mass-specific metabolic rates of any mammal and, in tandem with a slow digestive rate, have been theorized to have correspondingly low rates of ingestion. Here, we show in a study conducted over five months,

The behaviour and activity budgets of two sympatric sloths; Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
It is usually beneficial for species to restrict activity to a particular phase of the 24-hour cycle as this enables the development of morphological and behavioural adaptations to enhance survival under specific biotic and abiotic conditions.

Computed Tomography Evaluation of Frozen or Glycerinated Bradypus variegatus Cadavers: A Comprehensive View with Emphasis on Anatomical Aspects [PDF]

Animals
Bradypus variegatus has unique anatomical characteristics, and many of its vascular and digestive tract aspects have yet to be clearly understood. This lack of information makes clinical diagnoses and surgical procedures difficult.
