I’m off to Panama later this week to meet with clients on a weeklong wildlife photo safari. In Panama’s Bocas del Toro region, sloths are the featured highlight. In this region, you’re quite likely to encounter sloths actively feeding during the day. That’s because they aren’t subject to predation by Harpy eagles here (as they are in places like Costa Rica).
