Description
Linnaeus two-toed male sloth skull replica measures 4.6 x 2.6 x 2.6 inches. The Choloepus didactylus is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
Tropical rainforests of Central and South America serve as the native origin of Linnaeus’s two-toed sloths. Thick tree tops across countries like Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia form their primary range.
Shaggy fur, slow deliberate movements, and a heavy build characterize the physical appearance of this solitary tree mammal. Long curved claws finish the separate toes of the hairless front feet, while three clawed toes are on the back feet.
Acrobatic wrists allow them to execute slow motions while moving upside down through dense jungle trees.
They eat tree leaves and consume sweet fruits and forest flowers. Highly flexible lips help them tear off food items easily.
