two-toed sloth
 
The two-toed sloth (pelejo, in spanish) is a familiar pet in the homes of the Matsés tribe.  In addition, this sloth is often hunted and part of the Matses cusine.  The two-toed sloth is also important during the Ceremony of Comoc (the singers) which is analagous to the Matis tribe's Ceremony of Mariwin.
