Sloth History

Description : Neotropical xenarthran mammals known for their slow movement, spending most of their lives hanging upside down in tropical rainforests.

Species Diversity : There are six extant species divided into two genera: Bradypus (three-toed sloths) and Choloepus (two-toed sloths).

Evolution : Evolved via parallel evolution from terrestrial ancestors; related to anteaters.

Extinct Relatives : Includes ground sloths as large as elephants, like Megatherium, which became extinct around 12,000 years ago.

Adaptations : Low energy diet of leaves, almost helpless on the ground but able to swim. Shaggy coat hosts symbiotic green algae for camouflage and nutrition.

Etymology: Named for their low metabolism and slow movement, with ‘sloth’ meaning ‘laziness’.
