Did you find the sloth?Pygmy sloths are found only on the tiny Escudo Island in Panama. The low-nutrient diet from the mangrove leaves they eat, combined with the isolation of living on an island, has made these sloths almost 40% smaller than their continental counterparts. #Panama #sloths #island | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
