Brown-throated Sloth - Gatun Lake, Panama During my trip to Panama, I made my way to the Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal. While I was exploring, I came across a log on the road which I quickly realized was a sloth. I pulled the truck so that no one would run my new friend over. I watched as he made is way across the road SOOOO slowly but was thrilled at the interaction. The orange and brown patch on the back is only found on males and produces scent to attract the females.
