Brown-throated sloths have a polygynous mating system. [24] Studies of the brown-throated sloth indicate that mating is most common between January and March in at least the northern parts of its range, but this may vary elsewhere. Gestation lasts at least seven months, and the single young is born fully furred and clawed.
Pygmy three-toed sloth: Isla Escudo de Veraguas (Panama) B. torquatus: Maned sloth: Atlantic coastal rainforest of southeastern Brazil B. tridactylus: Pale-throated sloth: Part of northern South America, including Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, eastern Venezuela and Brazil north of the Amazon River B. variegatus: Brown-throated sloth
Several of Cryptoses choloepi are visible on the neck and mid-dorsal speculum of this male Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus griseus). Cryptoses choloepi is a sloth moth in the snout moth family that as an adult lives exclusively in the fur of sloths, mammals found in South and Central America. [1]
The pale- and brown-throated three-toed sloths mate seasonally, while the maned three-toed sloth breeds at any time of the year. The reproduction of pygmy three-toed sloths is currently unknown. Litters are of one newborn only, after six months' gestation for three-toed, and 12 months for two-toed. Newborns stay with their mother for about five ...
The sloth’s fur forms a micro-ecozone inhabited by green algae and hundreds of insects. Sloths have a highly specific community of commensal beetles, mites and moths. [1] Species of sloths recorded to host arthropods include: [1] Pale-throated three-toed sloth Bradypus tridactylus; Brown three-toed sloth Bradypus variegatus

The authors attributed this in part to competition with the brown-throated sloth. [10] They often move slowly through the canopy for about eight hours each night, and spend much of the day sleeping in tangles of lianas. They move only very slowly, typically at around 0.14 m/s (0.46 ft/s), although they can move up to 50% faster when excited.
