We posted a question sticker on our story this morning and this was the most asked question! 🦥 The only way to accurately age a wild sloth is through telomeric analysis, and in-depth studies of this kind have not yet been done! Captive two-fingered (Choloepus) sloths are known to reach 40-50 years old, however, sloths were not bred in captivity until 50 years ago and so there has been little chance for any individual to exceed this figure. While the oldest known three-fingered sloth, Buttercup,

The Urban Sloth Project is research to understand the impacts of the urbanization of the jungle. This video from @technicallyinpanama shows what happens when sloths' habitats overlap our civilization and why it's essential to develop ways in which humans and wildlife can coexist peacefully! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

🦥❓🤔 How many sloths there are? How many there should be? And why is it important for sloth conservation to know this? Counting sloths seems like an easy task, but is quite the opposite. So how do we do it? Meet Tamara, our General Director and dog boss, explain our latest research project, 'the Great Sloth Census'.

Not all sloth work is the same... Some people help orphaned and injured sloths at rescue centers, and although we’ve been there, that’s not what we do! We work with wild sloths: we study them in the forest, learn about their behavior and ecology, and most importantly, we work to protect the habitats they call home. Because the best rescue is the one that never has to happen. Follow us for more research, conservation, and sloth content! Visit our profile to make a gift to sloths and support our p

We use a drone equipped with a thermal camera to locate sloths in the canopy for our research project, The Great Sloth Census. How many sloths are there? How many should there be? How can we protect a species when we don’t know its population trends? We're researching and working to answer these critically questions. You can support our research and conservation initiatives by donating, adopting a sloth, or purchasing on our Sloth Shop! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

Did you know sloths make sounds? Two-fingered sloth babies call their mothers with this adorable “meep” sound. Once they become adults, two-fingered sloths stop vocalizing and become mostly silent animals, unless they feel threatened, in which case they can hiss a little!
