Sloths—the sluggish tree-dwellers of Central and South America—spend their lives in the tropical rain forests. They move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day, munching on leaves, twigs and buds. Sloths have an exceptionally low metabolic rate and spend 15 to 20 hours per day sleeping.

Which countries do sloths live in?

Sloths are found throughout Central America and northern South America, including parts of Brazil and Peru. They live high in the trees of tropical rainforests, where they spend most of their time curled up or hanging upside down from branches.

Are sloths friendly?

Are sloths dangerous to humans? To put it bluntly, sloths are not friendly (not in the way you'd expect from a puppy or a kitten). As much as we love sloths here at SloCo, we maintain a long-distance relationship with them.
