Gastrointestinal Parasites and Ectoparasites of Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni Sloths in Captivity from Costa Rica

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2009
Sloths may serve as host to a wide range of parasites. However, there is little information available on the types of parasites that affect Costa Rica's sloth population. During a 1-yr period, 65 specimens of Costa Rican sloth species (Choloepus hoffmanni; n = 56) and Bradypus variegates; n = 9) from a local zoo were sampled.

Hoffmann's two-toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra). [PDF]

J Anat
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.
