text: Sloths have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a mammal of their size), and low body temperatures: 30 to 34 °C (86 to 93 °F) when active, and still lower when resting.
text: Sloths move slowly due to their extremely slow metabolic rate
text: Sloths have a low metabolic rate and a low body temperature (91° Fahrenheit).
text: They have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size) and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 degrees Celsius or 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit) and still lower temperatures when resting.
text: Sloths have an exceptionally low metabolic rate and spend 15 to 20 hours per day sleeping.
text: Known for their slow-moving nature from whence they get their name, sloths have very low metabolic rates that keep them from doing much of anything for most of the day.
text: Sloths have an extremely low metabolic rate which means that they move at the languid and sluggish pace that they are so famed for, expending very little energy as they do so.
text: Even so, leaves provide little energy, and sloths deal with this by a range of economy measures: they have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 °C or 86 to 93 °F), and still lower temperatures when resting.
text: Sloths have a low metabolic rate and a low body temperature (91°F).
text: Because sloths have a very low metabolic rate (only 40–45 percent of the expected rate for their size), they are able to eat foods that are easy to find but low in nutrients.
text: Sloths have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a mammal of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30–34°C or 86–93°F), and still lower temperatures when resting
text: They also sleep about 15 hours a day due to their exceptionally low metabolic rate.
text: The key to understanding the sloths slow pace is through their low metabolic rate and extremely low-energy diet.
text: They have a low metabolic rate and defecate only once each week.
text: Their body temperatures depend at least partially on the ambient temperature; they cannot shiver to keep warm, as other mammals do, because of their unusually low metabolic rates and reduced musculature.
