The Pygmy Sloth! Thanks to National Geographic, fans all over the world have harkened to a new species of sloth, Bradypus pygmaeus. This creature, found on a tiny island off the coast of Panama in 2001, was featured in an article in the March 2006 issue of National Geographic. Check out video footage here.

Sister Site Purchased... We are (slowly, of course) developing Sloth.Biz as a sister site to Xenarthra.Org. This new site will contain multimedia, photos, and interviews relating to sloths.
