 I know this is a male 3-toed sloth because I also got some photos of his back which had the distinctive male marking.  We were very lucky on this day and saw several sloths fairly close up and most were actually moving.
By contrast, in Costa Rica we saw a few sloths but each one looked like a large ball of moss. Amazon jungle, Peru • (Photo posted Friday 12 June 2009) • (Photo taken 04:21:28 Wednesday April 8, 2009) • © 2009 Terry Costales

 We were in our skiff and someone spotted this soaking wet sloth climbing a tree. In the wet season the water goes much farther inland and the sloths must swim from tree to tree instead of walk.

 This photo was taken about a half an hour after we first saw this wet sloth. He was still climbing which was not surprising because he was a sloth after all.
