Three‐Dimensional Limb Kinematics in Brown‐Throated Three‐Toed Sloths (Bradypus variegatus) During Suspensory Quadrupedal Locomotion

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 5, Page 564-577, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Suspensory locomotion differs significantly from upright quadrupedal locomotion in mammals. Nevertheless, we know little concerning joint kinematics of suspensory movement. Here, we report three‐dimensional kinematic data during locomotion in brown‐throated three‐toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus). Individuals were recorded with four calibrated

Intestine vascularization of sloth (Bradypus variegatus SCHINZ, 1825)

Acta Veterinaria Brasilica, 2020
Common sloth (Bradypus variegatus) is a mammal that belongs to the superorder Xenarthra, typical from neotropical regions, with geographic distribution from Honduras to northern Argentina. Our study aimed to describe the intestine blood supply of these Bradipodids in order to collaborate with the clinical-surgical for these animals.

Polling the Public to Select Flagship Species for Tourism and Conservation-A 'Big Five' for the Peruvian Amazon? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Flagship species are used to promote conservation and tourism, but selecting species purely for prescribed appealing characteristics may overlook unique flagships or homogenise selections. A strategy of polling the public can more directly identify existing preferences for species for marketing.

Development of prototyping as an alternative for trauma reconstruction in a common sloth limb (Bradypus variegatus)

Conjecturas, 2022
Specimens of Bradypus variegatus are commonly found with thoracic limbs lesions, victims of electric shock sit-ins or trampling, presenting injuries such as loss of claws and fractures, compromising their locomotion and ability to pick up their food causing the animal to die.

Seroprevalence of Arboviruses and Genetic Characterization of Orbiviruses in Sloths from Western Panama [PDF]

Viruses
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an increasingly significant threat to public health in tropical regions. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of various arboviruses in two species of sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus ...

Macroscopic Description of Small and Large Intestine of the Sloth Bradypus variegatus

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2018
Background: Sloths of the species Bradypus variegatus are mammals with peculiar habits, which feed mostly young leaves of ‘embaúba’ and occur broadly in Central and South America. This specie has the greatest occurrence in Brazilian Northeast, making it a biological model for several researches in the fields as anatomy, physiology, genetics, pathology,
