Sloths have small molars which they use to chew up their leafy food. They sleep about 15 to 18 hours each day, hanging upside down. These mostly-quiet mammals live in the tropical rain forests of South and Central America. The sloth is the slowest mammal on Earth. They only rarely venture to the ground and walk on the ground in an upright position.
Sloths can swim well.
LIFE SPAN Sloths may live 10-20 years in the wild. They give birth upside down hanging from a tree branch. As stated in our privacy policy , we fully respect your privacy and will not use your e-mail address for any purpose other than the newsletter subscription. Please visit our sponsor.
