Yes - humans! Unfortunately sloths really don't do very well when faced with a rapid change in the environment, and that is exactly what humans are doing. Aside from people, sloths' main predators are big cats (like jaguars, ocelots) and birds such as harpy eagles!

Hey Rebecca, great idea to start an AMA for this!
Do Sloths have natural enemies in the wild?

That's a good point, I think the constant development of land and cities is one of the many aspects how humans are dangerous to Sloths.
Thanks for the answer :)
