Bradypus pygmaeus
species of mammal
Bradypus pygmaeus is a species of three toed sloth. It lives on the island of Escudo de Veraguas. It is listed as critically endangered on IUCN's Red List,[1] due to its location range being less than 5 square kilometers and because of deforestation of the mangroves in which they live. The pygmy three toed sloth is not prey to any natural predator, as it lives on an isolated island where there aren't many other animals.
