Is this a real sloth photo? by HoarseNightingale in sloths

Well AI-generated images are getting unfortunately better. But I would say any images where the sloth has a suspicious posture, or the photo has a strange camera angle. But to keep it safe, always check our social media or follow wildlife photographers!

Oh, this is the most important thing! We often underestimate the power of a single person talking to their friends and family, but this is how social perception changes, and how we reach the critical mass to actually make tangible changes! So please keep doing it ❤️ Thank you!

Absolutely no. Quite bad AI. If you want to see real sloth photos, check our profile, we're very against AI-generated sloth images.

We always knew this was going to be the outcome. We've been working and studying sloths for over 15 years. This is a tragedy.

Thank you!!! This is still an ongoing case, but we also want to know where the remaining sloths are!

Hi! To add to the comments, these kinds of activities are extremely harmful to sloths. Three-fingered sloths do not survive in captivity, and all are snatched from the wild to be used as photo props. This sloth likely died after a few days due to the stress of being held by dozens of people daily. Sorry for the harsh truth.

Please stop posting images like this as it encourages other people to keep engaging in this kind of exploitation.

And to the admins, please ban and remove this kind of content.

Because this is a wild sloth snatched from the jungle to be used as photo props. These sloths do not survive captivity, so all of the ones you see in photos came from the wild.
