Anyways...since sloths are so hot right now, here are some awesome SLOTH FACTS FOR YOU!
○ Sloths aren't as sleepy as once though - they sleep just under 10 hours a day.
○ Sloths are Felivores - they mainly eat leaves (although they like fruits very much too)
○ A sloth's grip is very strong and may help the sloth stay suspended from a branch even in its sleep...or death!
○ Sloths are slow and clumsy on land, but they are excellent swimmers.
○ The ancient giant sloth grew as big as an elephant!
○ Sloths can turn their head upto 270 degrees~
○ Sloths are related to armadillos and anteaters.
○ Sloths go to the ground to pee and poop about once a week, digging a hole and covering it afterwards.
○ Sloths are so sedentary that algae grows on their fur, giving them a greenish tint that acts as a camouflage.
○ Two-toed sloths spend more time hanging upside-down than their three-toed cousins.
○ Sloths store extra fat in the pads of their feet, which means they never get fat!
○ Three toed sloths have a very high pitched call that echoes through forests as AAAIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!
That's why they're also called 'Ais' (pronounced 'eyes' )
