Muscle architectural properties indicate a primary role in support for the pelvic limb of three‐toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus)

Tree sloths evolved below‐branch locomotion making them one of few mammalian taxa beyond primates for which suspension is nearly obligatory. Suspension requires strong limb flexor muscles that provide both propulsion and braking/support, and available locomotor kinetics data indicate that these role...
