Have you seen an animal that sleeps for a good part of the day, rarely sets foot on the ground, prefers hanging around and moves very, very slowly? The sloth!

Sloths are cute, lazy and the slowest mammals on Earth. Their normal facial expression looks like a smile. Sloths are so popular as many people, who are tired of their fast, stressed lifestyles, admire these animals and their quiet slow life.
