All 3 are endangered species.


In Brazil Sloths are natural from Amazon and Atlantic Forest, and other  regions where Sloths were common they're already disappearing like in Northeast Brazil (most of it in Caatinga).

In Brazil there are 5 species of Sloths.

Saving sloths crossing road.

One of the biggest threat for wild animals in Brazil are by getting run over by car. no animal is safe in these roads.


Good job dudes on helping the sloths.

Rare Giant Armadillo in Serra dos Pireneus - Cerrado - Brazil

Leandro Vitorino

''Our newest record of the rare and endangered giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) in the Serra dos Pireneus - Goiás. Our second record, and the only two recorded in the region. A historical and valuable find for our region. Its again a male, the first one was in a forest region, this time in the Cerrado properly said. Its burrows are found mainly in the sauveiros (ant-sauva anthills).''
