Strange alien creature from Panama or just an animal ?

Definetly a sloth with no hair!  The mystery.....wheres the hair 

[onthecuttingedge2005]

mutated sloth, you can clearly see one of its large claws on 'its' right front leg.
possibly a genetic throw back that had a weak immune system and died.

sometimes animals are born with a disease that produces hairlessness in animals, it a rare disease.

Perhaps it just discovered shaving, then cut itself and bled to death

New video of the creature:

I wonder, why they don´t show it better in the video ?

So, is it just a dead sloth ?

Tree sloths are native to that part of the world.
But:
1) The teenagers said it wasn't in a tree?  Why not?  Was it like a prehistoric giant ground sloth on a very small scale?
2) It was killed recently?  It naturally has no fur? And it's albino?  It's native to caves for many generations?  Was the cave explored for more live or fossil animals?
3) Tree sloths have curved claws to hang upside down in trees.  This animal's claws are fairly straight.  Prehistoric giant sloths could use their claws as weapons against saber-tooth cats and bears.  Same shape of claws as this animal's.
4) The head is so strange, it can't be fiction.  Normal sloths don't look like that.

What is it?  A way mutated sloth with a common ancestor that was a sloth, maybe.  Otherwise, I never saw anything like it.
Accurate DNA analysis should settle the question.
