There are five species of sloths. The Maned sloth is an endangered species. All sloths face the threat of loss of habit. All sloths have three toes. One genus of sloths has three fingers and the other genus has two fingers.
Sloths have an image of laziness and inactivity.
They can fall asleep upside down. The sloth goes to the bathroom about once a week and he climbs to the ground to do so. It takes them about an hour to get to the ground. They can live about 12 years in the wild, and much longer in captivity. It's hard for the sloth to walk on the ground because of the shape of their toes and fingers.
