Sloths are slow-moving mammals that are found in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. They are known for their slow movements and are the world's slowest mammal, moving at an average speed of 0.15 mph. Sloths are arboreal animals, meaning they spend most of their time in trees, and have adapted to life in the canopy of the rainforest. They are herbivores, feeding on leaves, buds, and fruits. Sloths have a long lifespan, living up to 40 years in the wild.
