Rare swimming pygmy sloth

One of the rarest mammals on the planet the pygmy three-toed sloth goes for a swim in the waters around Isla Escudo des Veraguas, a tiny island off the coast of Panama.



This fantastically charismatic animal that looks like a teddy bear was described as a new species in 2001 and makes Chris Packham's top ten discoveries of the last decade from around the world.
