The name sloth is given to this animal because of its very slow movements, which is actually a metabolic adaptation to reduce energy consumption.

Sloths, as their name suggests, are one of the slowest animals on the planet, and their name is somehow synonymous with slow motion pictures.

Their maximum speed is 4 meters per minute. In fact, sloths are so slow that green algae grows on them. Of course, these animals are good swimmers and can swim at a speed of 13.5 meters per minute.

The body of sloths is very strong and hosts a variety of green algae that have evolved to live among the sloth's hair and help camouflage this animal, and these mosses themselves are food for a variety of insects. Their body temperature is a little lower than other mammals and It varies between 30 and 34 degrees.

Sloths have poor vision and hearing and depend on their sense of smell and touch to feed.
