Central and South America serve as the native origin of Hoffmann’s two-toed sloths. These animals inhabit tropical rainforest and deciduous forests from sea level up to 3,000 meters above sea level.
One population lives from eastern Honduras down to western Ecuador, while another spans from eastern Peru, western Brazil and northern Bolivia.
Shaggy fur, slow deliberate movements, and a heavy build characterize the physical appearance of this solitary arboreal mammal. Two-towed sloths hang from tree branches, suspended by their huge, hook-like claws.
Leaves, tender shoots, fruits, and flowers form the primary natural diet of these slow-moving canopy animals. They occasionally eat insects and small lizards to supplement their nutrition when forest foliage becomes scarce.
Females give birth to a baby after a gestation of eleven to twelve months. Young infants cling tightly to the belly fur of the mother for several months.
