Sloth Strikes Back!
Sloth Unexpectedly Fights Off Ocelot’s Savage Attack in Trail Camera FootageA trail camera captured the extraordinary moment a two-toed sloth fights off and unexpectedly survives a savage attack by an ocelot in the Amazon Rainforest.
The trail camera was set up at a mineral lick, or saladero, where many Amazonian animals come to feed on mineral-rich soil despite the risk of coming into contact with predators. While it would be natural to assume that the sloth would fare poorly against the predator, the footage proves just how decisive and quick these slow-moving creatures can be in such perilous encounters.
