Sloth and Baby in Tree Animated

Brown-throated sloths (Bradypus variegatus) are slow-moving mammals native to the rainforests of Central and South America, spending most of their lives hanging upside down from tree branches in the dense canopy. They are herbivores, feeding primarily on leaves, twigs, and buds, which they digest slowly because of their low metabolic rate. These solitary creatures are known for their unique adaptations, such as strong, curved claws that help them grip branches and a specialized neck, allowing them to turn their heads nearly 90 degrees. Remarkably, sloths not only eat but also sleep, mate, and even give birth while suspended from trees, making the canopy their entire world.
