Foundations of Sloth Behavior is a self-directed course designed to improve Two-toed/two-fingered sloth welfare by providing a framework for evaluating sloth behavior. Sloth care must be based on a solid understanding of the species' natural history, the individual's experiences and their behavior. Sloths, like all animals, are limited to their structure and physiology, which have both evolved under the pressure of natural selection. This course begins with a review of animal behavior science, introduces a structure for evaluating behavior for any animal in human care, and teaches the nuances of sloth behavior. This includes common scenarios like reproduction, introduction, and aggression. You can also join this program via the mobile app.
