two toed sloth gets mad at me

Apparently, in the wild, 3 toed sloths are very friendly, you can just pick one up. But two toed sloths can be very dangerous. The guide told a story about a dog, who was very friendly, and ran up barking excitedly to a 2 toed sloth, who promptly slashed it's throat with a single swipe of it's claws, and killed it. So be careful if you do see one. They have an amazing grip and are quite strong, so unless you are sure they are friendly I wouldn't advise letting it grab on to you. I was told in between the first and second shot that this sloth would bite and claw and no one should try to pet it... oops.

Scary! No two toed sloth for me :(

@amaya0223 They're kind of cute...

@Hoodoo2060 I love them! But I'm sticking to three toed ones. You know, for personal safety and stuff. :)

@amaya0223 The two toed sloths are making up for their missing one I think.
