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.
Most cats have a total of 18 digits and claws. 5 on each forefoot, the 5th digit being the dewclaw; and 4 on each hind foot. The dewclaw is located high on the foreleg, is not in contact with the ground and is non-weight bearing. Some cats can have more than 18 digits, example: five on their rear paws (polydactylyism).
