Two-toed Sloth with baby

The gestation period of the Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) is between 11 and 12 months and results always in the birth of a single young. The mother will nurse the baby about 1 month. I was very fortunate to see the caring mother with her cute and fluffy baby:

Two-toed Chewbacca

Matching the cinema release of the new Star Wars Movie "The Last Jedi" (edit: I did not like it!), I was able to observe an animal that reminds me of this franchise. An amazing creature that looks a bit like a small version of a climbing "Wookiee": The Sloth! To be more precisely: Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni).

I was really lucky to meet this arboreal animal during the day and this close. Hopefully everyone who is not into Star Wars can still enjoy this post due to the photos of this interesting mammal.
