Two-Toed Sloth

Two-Toed Sloth
Sloths are native to Central and South American rain forests. They use their long limbs and curved claws to hang and move along tree branches in a slow, deliberate manner, feeding on foliage pulled just as slowly to their mouths. The animals spend virtually their entire lives suspended with their backs to the ground, as this Hoffman’s two-toed sloth demonstrates.
