Causes of death
Predators: Jaguars, ocelots, and harpy eagles
Sexual competition: couldn't find anything, but maned sloths are polyamorous
Diseases: Tapeworm
Competition
Inter-species: Male sloths will compete with each other to the death in order to get the female that they want
Intra-species: maned sloths compete with monkeys because they eat leaves as well and the sloths get very territorial
Compete over: mates and leaves
Effect of invasive species: makes their kind more endangered because of how much they compete with each other
IUCN Rating
Rating: Vulnerable
Population: 100-200
Population Trend: Decreasing population trend
Impact of Humans
Humans encroach further into the rainforests, more trees are being cut down, which leaves the sloths very vulnerable
Future impacts: loss of habitat from all the trees being cut down, climate change and global warmingÂ
How long humans have been interacting: 10,000's of years
Efforts made to protect: donations for not cutting down trees, adopt a sloth, sponsor a project, volunteer, offset your carbon footprint, fundraise, and spread the word
