Rare Footage: Sloth Fends off Ocelot Attack in Amazon Rainforest

Rare footage captured in the Amazon rainforest shows a Linnaeus's two-toed sloth defending itself against an ocelot attack at a mineral lick. The video, taken by primate researchers in Ecuador, provides insight into the rarely seen behaviors of these elusive species. Sloths are typically known for their slow lifestyles, but this footage demonstrates their ability to defend themselves against predators. Camera traps are a valuable tool for studying the natural history of animals in their natural habitats.
