🦥Sloth Hanging Out for a Drink!

Sloths get most of the water they need from the foliage they consume, however both two-fingered and three-fingered sloths will drink from rivers, particularly on hot, dry days.
You have probably never seen a sloth drinking water. In fact, very few people have! As a result, it has been assumed for centuries that sloths get all the water they need from the fresh rainforest leaves they eat, and few documented observations exist of either of the two sloth genera drinking in the wild.
We photographed a male brown‐throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus) lapping water from the surface of a river in Costa Rica. Our latest work, ‘Sloths hanging out for a drink’ has just been published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
