Side view of the torso, forelimbs and head of the Paramylodon. Set against a black ceiling with lights and the background of the museum. The forelimbs are extended as though reaching for a tree trunk (or offering a hug).

Full view of the front of the Paramylodon, standing on its two hindlimbs. The fossil is atop a display case, with real fossils of this sloth underneath it.

It’s #InternationalSlothDay! 🦥 A reminder to slow down, breathe, & live sustainably. Sloths quietly sustain rainforests—let’s protect their habitats & take a cue from their calm, mindful pace. 🌿💚 #Conservation #Sustainability

Today is #internationalslothday
I’ve been lucky enough to see wild Sloths in Costa Rica and Panama.. a few pics of mine here - wonderful creatures ♥️

#InternationalSlothDay (Oct 20) 🦥🌎
Sloths help keep rainforests healthy—fur hosts algae/insects; descents fertilize the forest floor and disperse seeds. Threats include roads, deforestation, power lines, selfie tourism, and the pet trade. Skip sloth selfies—share this post to help. 💚
