Three-toed Sloth: The Slowest Mammal On Earth | Nature on PBS

# data[].attributes.body
The three-toed sloth is an arboreal animal, inhabiting the tropical forests of Central and South America. Their algae-covered fur helps camouflage the sloth in its forest environment. Sloths spend nearly all of their time in trees, descending to the ground only once a week to defecate.Sloths even sleep in trees, and they sleep a lot—some 15 to 20 hours every day. Even when awake they often remain motionless.

Sloths are herbivores (plant eaters), feeding on a low-energy diet of leaves, twigs and fruit. Because of their slow movement and metabolism, it can take up to a month for a sloth to digest a single meal.At night they eat leaves, shoots, and fruit from the trees and get almost all of their water from juicy plants.

A three-toed sloth can rotate its head nearly 90 degrees or more, and its mouth is shaped in a way that makes the animal appear as if it's always smiling.

Sloths are tropical mammals that live in Central and South America. They use their long claws to hang onto branches while they feast on the leaves that other animals can't reach. The sloth's long claws — 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 centimetres) — make walking on the ground difficult, so they spend most of their time in the tall trees they call home. There are six species of sloth, and they come in two varieties: two-toed and three-toed. Three-toed sloths are about the size of a medium-sized dog at around 23 to 27 inches (58 to 68 cm) and 17.5 to 18.75 lbs. (about 8 kilograms).
Compared with most mammals, sloths move very slowly. It takes them about a minute to climb only 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters).

Sloths may be slow climbers, but they are speedy swimmers.

The health of sloth populations is wholly dependent on the health of tropical rain forests. But tropical rain forests are at risk of deforestation. Without an abundance of trees, sloths will lose their shelter and food source. Communities, governments and companies must encourage sustainable forestry.  Initiatives like Amazon Region Protected Areas  (ARPA) to protect rain forest is the need of an hour

They roamed North America and became extinct. They are found in South America. Sloths have an average life span of 20 to 30 years in the wild, but captive sloths tend to live a bit longer.
