REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE STAGE ASSESSMENT IN THE TWO-TOED SLOTH (CHOLOEPUS HOFFMANNI), PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife MedicineThe number of two-toed sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni) has significantly decreased in the last years. Deepening the knowledge of this tropical mammal's reproductive physiology is essential to improve captive breeding within conservation programs for this species.

Ventilatory responses to CO2, and hypoxia in the two-toed sloth Choloepus Hoffmanni
Respiration Physiology, 1974Abstract Sloths are unusual in that they have a low metabolic rate, a low body temperature and a low rate of secretion of thyroxine in comparison with most other mammals. Since it is known that any one of these features, if induced in a characteristic mammal, results in some altered state of the ventilatory control system, and its responses to ...

Choloepus hoffmanni (Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth)
1970These karyotypes were kindly donated by Drs. J. Corin and J. Corin-Frederic, University Liege, Belgium. The study was performed on ten animals (fibrous tissue culture) collected in Panama, Costa Rica and Equador. All possessed 49 chromosomes. Females are apparently XO, males have one unpaired element which in size is the 23rd autosome.

A Possible Vector of Endotrypanum schaudinni of the Sloth Choloepus hoffmanni, in Panama
Nature, 1964Endotrypanum schaudinni, a haemoflagellate of sloths, has a very wide geographical distribution in America, stretching from the Amazonian Basin in the South to Costa Rica in the North. It has been shown that the infection is limited to animals which live in forest regions1.

La fonction thyroidienne chez l'unau (Choloepus hoffmanni Peters)
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1969Resume Le faible taux du metabolisme de repos et la basse temperature centrale du Paresseux Choloepus hoffmanni ont ete confirmes. Le poids relatif de la thyroide n'est pas anormal et l'insuffisance du tissu thyroidien ne peut etre invoquee pour expliquer un metabolisme de 34% inferieur a celui de Mammiferes de meme poids. Histologiquement, il s'agit

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hoffmann's two-toed sloth ( Choloepus hoffmanni )
Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015The Hoffmann's two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni), a member of Folivora suborder, is found in the rainforest canopy of South America. Both the Hoffmann's two-toed sloth and human belong to Eutheria subclass. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of C. hoffmanni is reported .

HYPOADRENOCORTICISM (ADDISON'S DISEASE) IN A HOFFMANN'S TWO-TOED SLOTH (CHOLOEPUS HOFFMANNI)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2015A 22-yr-old, captive-born, presumed female Hoffmann's two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) presented in respiratory distress with severe dehydration and symptoms of hypotension. During treatment, dysphagia was noted and oral examination revealed enlarged palatine tonsils and mucosal plaques.

Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) is an arboreal mammal found throughout the Neotropics. Due to its limited dispersal power and reliance on forested habitats, C. hoffmanni could serve as a model species for understanding the response of mammals to land cover change.

Current Microbiology
Sloths have the slowest digestion among mammals, requiring 5-20 times longer to digest food than other herbivores, which suggests differences in their gut microbiota, particularly in plant-fiber-degrading microorganisms. Bradypus variegatus has a lower metabolic rate and moves less than Choloepus hoffmanni.
