Etymology: < Portuguese aí (17th cent.) < Tupi aí, imitative of the animal's cry (1587 in a Portuguese context, 1560 in a post-classical Latin context as aig). Compare French aï (1578 in Middle French as hay), scientific Latin ai, former specific name (1827).

A three-toed sloth (genus Bradypus, family Bradypodidae); esp. the pale-throated sloth, B. tridactylus. B. tridactylus was formerly the only known three-toed species. The name ai has been used for several species now recognized.
