Suzi Eszterhas (USA) captures an encounter between a sloth and a dog.
The brown-throated sloth had already made it across a road, but to reach the next clump of trees it needed to return to the ground and crawl. That was when it met this big dog.
When this sloth sensed danger, it froze. Suzi was fearful, as she remarks how 'dogs often attack sloths'. Fortunately, this particular dog did no more than sniff. 'It had recently taken part in a training programme run by the Sloth Conservation Foundation,' Suzi explains, 'so when the owners called it off, the dog obeyed'.
In the rainforest, sloths move very slowly between trees high in the canopy, feeding on young leaves. They descend only to defecate, about once every five days. But with increasing habitat loss and the fragmentation of the nearby forest, sloths are increasingly forced on vulnerable journeys across urbanised areas to find food, suitable habitats and mates.
