Choloepus hoffmanni.

Folivora sunt subordo neotropicorum mammalium arboricolarum superordinis Xenarthrorum. Lentissime insigniter moventia, in arboribus silvarum pluvialium tropicarum in America Australi et Media sursum deorsum tempus fallere pendentia solent. Artissime cum vermilinguis cognata putantur, quibuscum ordinem Pilosorum una constituunt. Sunt sex species Folivororum exstantium, quae in duo genera digeruntur: Bradypodes et Cholepodes.
