First Name: BILLY Animal Species: Pygmy Sloth Criticalization (Red List Assessment): CR Near Extinct Species ■ About Pygmy Sloth The pygmy sloth is the smallest of the sloths and has only been found on Escudo de Veraguaçu, a small island in the Caribbean Sea 17 km off the coast of Panama. Sloths are notoriously slow-moving, but this species of sloth makes mangroves their ideal home and is surprisingly good at swimming. They are slow-moving, so the only way to protect themselves from predators is to sit still and assimilate with the trees to avoid detection. Their main threat is the destruction of habitats. Due to deforestation, their already small habitat continues to shrink.
