Sloths are mammals found in Central and South America.
The sloth is one of the world’s slowest moving creatures. Sloths are known for their unusual appearance. They have blunt snouts, very small ears and tails, and peg-like teeth.
Sloths are also known to sleep a lot. They can spend up to 18 hours a day sleeping. They spend most of their time up in the trees. They use their hook-like claws to hang onto branches. They tend to go unnoticed by predators as they hang there quietly.
The sloth likes to hang upside down.
