Three Toed Sloth

Hello Everyone!
Now i will tell you about one of the most unique animal in the world
That is three toed sloth!!!
Three toed sloth is one of the slowest animals in the world. There are four types of three toed sloth in the world, they are Bradypus pygmaeus, Bradypus torquatus, Bradypus tridactylus, Bradypus variegatus.
Three toed sloth live in the tropical forests of center and South America...




Sloth adult length ranges from 40 to 72 cm with a weight about 5.4 kg. One of the favourite things three toed sloth do is hanging in a tree. Sloth really likes to hang in a tree. They spend most of their time in tree branches. And they only go down from a tree once a week.
Sometimes they fall into water but fortunately, they can swim well and go again to a tree.




When the child is born the mother immediately took him on his back until he was two years old.
Three toed sloth moves on its belly of the ground. And even snails can defeat him when three toed sloth is in its slowest condition.
Sloth are herbivores. They eat fruits, buds, leaves, and twigs to survive in their habitat
The other things sloth really like to do is sleep. Three toed sloth sleeps about 15-20 hours each day. Because of that it was called as a lazy animal.
Sloth mouth shape such appears as if it is smiling. That's one of the uniqueness sloths. But currently sloths are endangered due to deforestation and hunting.
