Sloth



This is a very different animal from the other because sleeps almost it all the time. And it only wakes up to feed itself. Other animals do not
bother about him.
The living sloths belong to one of two families,
known as the Megalonychidae ("two-toed" sloths) and the
Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths). All living sloths have in
fact three toes; the "two-toed" sloths, however, have only
two fingers.
