DID YOU KNOW?
Slow-Acting Stomach: Sloths have very large, specialized and slow-acting stomachs to digest their main food source: leaves. It takes about a month or more for a sloth to digest a belly full of leaves.
Unusual Hair Style: Sloths spend so much time hanging upside down, with their legs above their body, that — in order to provide protection from the elements — their hair grows away from their extremities.
Giant Sloths?: Ancestors of present-day, tree-dwelling sloths included huge, ground-dwelling sloths such as Megatherium — one of the largest mammals to ever walk the earth.
