The sloths in these photos are Hoffmann's two-toed sloths. If you look closely, you can see that they have only two toesâor fingersâon each front foot. (Some other sloth species have three front toes.) But those toes are very important! Their long, curved claws keep sloths firmly attached to tree branches. And those claws are their only defense against predators.
Sloths are identified by the number of long, prominent claws that they have on each front foot. There are both two-toed and three-toed sloths. All sloths are built for life in the treetops.They spend nearly all of their time aloft, hanging from branches with a powerful grip aided by their long claws.loths mate and give birth while hanging in the trees. Three-toed sloth babies are often seen clinging to their mothersâthey travel by hanging on to them for the first nine months of their lives. On land, sloths' weak hind legs provide no power and their long claws are a hindrance.
