How can you tell between a female and a male sloth?

You can distinguish between male and female sloths primarily by examining their size and physical characteristics. Female sloths are generally larger and have a more robust body compared to males. Additionally, males possess a distinct feature: a larger, more pronounced tail and sometimes a unique coloration in their fur due to the presence of specific bacteria. Observing mating behaviors can also provide clues, as males are often more active during the breeding season.
