Three Toed Sloth

Notice the soaking wet fur. It had not rained all day, this sloth had obviously just finished with a little dip. This Cecropia was right on the riverbank, so he was likely crossing the river.
Three Toed Sloth by Alexander Yates.
I spotted this little fellow in a cecropia from a boat on the Tuichi river. Luckily it was a calm spot and we were able to pull ashore, jump out and take some photos.

The Tuichi river runs through Madidi national park, in the Bolivian Amazon. This was seen about three hours downriver of the Chalalan ecolodge.

This is currently the most interesting photo tagged with Chalalan.
