Bradypus variegatus Schinz, 1825, is one of the four extant three-toed sloths. We report data on the management of free-living sloths in the Atlantic Forest Fiocruz Campus, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. From 2013 to 2017, we have captured 23 sloths in hazard. The animals were microchipped and released in Pedra Branca State Park. Here we also report two recaptures, a mating observation and a case of electrocution, highlighting the importance of management for improving the knowledge in biology and conservation of this species.
