The sloth is a nocturnal and solitary animal. It spends its life in trees, where it eats, sleeps, breeds and gives birth.

When threatened, they can be aggressive and defend themselves with their long claws.

This species has the reputation of being one of the slowest animals in the world. It is particularly vulnerable on land and can take an hour to crawl a few metres.

On the other hand, however, it can climb a tree in just a few minutes in order to escape from a predator, and it is also an excellent swimmer.

Its metabolism is also very slow, it takes a month to digest its food and 48 hours to mate.
