These amazing creature go as fast as 0.15 mph on the ground although they are faster when they are on a tree.

SLOTH FACTS​​​
Picture

  • There are 2 different types of sloths, a two-toed sloth  and a three-toed sloth.
  • Sloths now are about the size of a dog but in ancient times, they are known to be as big as an Asian elephant!
  • A sloth has a very absorbent fur so algae grows right onto them which provides convenient camouflage.
  • A sloth spends around 90% of their entire life upside down.
  • Sloths eat many different things although some of the things they eat include buds, leaves, tender shoots, and on an occasion a bird. An average sloth takes about 30 days to digest 1 leaf.
  • Sloths have an extra vertebrae on their neck and so they can turn their head on a 270 degree, almost a 360 degree turn.
  • When sloths are swimming, they swim about 3 times faster and can hold their breath for 40 minute straight!
  • Due to their pace, for 1 day, they travel about 38 meters (125 ft).
  • On the ground, they only crawl 1 foot per minute.
  • Since the sloths have a facial structure that makes them look like they are always smiling even if they’re unhappy.
