Unfortunately, two of the six species of sloths are in the red zome on the IUCN Red List of endangered animals.
The maned three-toed sloth is categorized as “vulnerable,” and the pygmy three-toed sloth is “critically endangered.” According to the last official IUCN assessment, there are less than 100 pygmy sloths left in the world. Why? Photo Credit: Rainforest Cruises
