THE SLOTH Sloths can turn their heads 270 degrees
When looking for a mate, female sloths emit a scream that can be heard up to 1500’ away
11,000 years ago, sloths were the size of elephants
There are less than 100 three-toed pygmy sloths left in the world
They can retain their grip after death
Sloths in captivity can sleep for up to 20 hours a day
Original color of the fur is often masked with layers of algae on its surface.
On the ground, the maximum speed of the sloth is 6.5 ft per minute
