Sun Sloth

This article is incomplete, and it shall be expanded upon some time in the future. :) If you would like to see it expanded upon, leave a comment letting me know!

Sun sloths are a species of capepan sloth from planet Capepo. They make up one third of the Homonas genus, alongside bronze and mossy sloths. Their bright yellow colouration sets them apart from the other sloth species native to this tropical planet.

A Conservationist's Nightmare

Sun sloths are suffering from a decreasing population, due to overhunting from their natural predators. As the population of apex predators increase, sun sloths are becoming more of a target due to their slow movements.

Breeding programmes have been set up to try and increase their populations, but for some unexplained reason, sun sloths refuse to mate in captivity, unless under incredibly strict circumstances.

It's been three years. Why won't these buggers mate?

They're just not into each other. I hear the Defala Zoo has been trying to breed their pair for nine years.
