rhamphotheca: Three-toed Sloth (photo by Steven Kirkpatrick, Madison, Mississippi) Sometimes wildlife photography requires not only artistry but athleticism. On a boat trip to the Peruvian Amazon, Kirkpatrick spotted this three-toed sloth eating in a tree branch above a river—a visual he had always hoped to capture with his camera. In order to photograph the mammal face-to-face, he tied the boat to a tree while one of his companions clambered onto the boat’s roof. “I climbed on his shoulders and, shooting one-handed with a wide-angle lens, finally pressed the shutter,” Kirkpatrick recalls.
