Sloth dilemma, by Suzi Eszterhas, USA. An encounter between a sloth and a dog in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica. The brown-throated sloth was trying to reach a clump of trees when it met a big dog and froze. But the dog, having taken part in a training programme on sloth safety, simply sniffed at it. Sloths live in trees and rarely descend to the floor. With increasing habitat loss and the fragmentation of the forest, they are forced on perilous journeys across urbanised areas to find food, suitable habitats and mates.
