#TwoFingeredSlothWeek! Today, let's talk about Hoffmann's sloths!

There are two separate populations of C. hoffmanni on either side of the Andes mountain range, as seen on the distribution map. These two populations are thought to have diverged up to 7 million years ago. There are 5 suggested subspecies. This species is named for Karl Hoffmann, a German naturalist who was the first person to give its taxonomic classification.

Just like human hair, sloth hair comes in lots of different colors. Two-fingered sloths living in the hot lowland forests tend to have blonde hair, while those sloths living at higher altitudes typically have darker and thicker fur to cope with the colder climate. You can sometimes even see ginger sloths!

Why Sloths Are Secretly The Most Awesome Animals On The Planet.

Some days, I wish I could just lay around my house and do nothing all day. I imagine a world where I could just chill out all day and not worry about money, work, or responsibilities. It dawned on me that the “fantasy” world I’m imagining is the life of a sloth.

Sloths are awesome because of how blatantly lazy they are and I think we could all learn a little bit from them. It would be amazing if each of us could just take a while to relax and enjoy the sweet life. So let’s learn some life lessons from sloths:

1.) They only “go potty” once a week because their digestive system has slowed with the rest of their anatomy.

2.) Algae grow on their fur and they are host to several other non parasitic insects as well.

3.) Their diet, which consists of leaves and greens gives them very little energy for the day. This is one of the reasons for their slow movement.

4.) Sloths are going extinct and it’s not because of predators. It is because of human tampering with their environment.

5.) Sloths can live to be around 40 years old.

6.) When under attack, sloths are known to lash out with their claws. It’s rumored they can even kill a jaguar if they needed to.

7.) Their grip is so strong that even after they die they can be found gripping the branch they died on.

8.) Some sloths can turn their head almost 360 degrees.

10.) Sloths have only one baby a year and won’t have another until that baby sloth can live independently.
