Dear October... be Slothtober 💚 Support our our work and make a gift to sloths at slothconservation.org . #InternationalSlothDay #Sloth #slothlife | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

Sloths move so slowly that they usually trek no farther than 125 feet (38 meters) in a day. Due to their slow metabolism and diet of mostly leaves and fruit, they don't have a lot of leftover energy to expel, making their sluggish pace a survival technique. They also only defecate every five to seven days on average and actually lose up to one-third of their body weight in a single movement! #sloth #animals #animal #wildlife #sloths #slothlove #slothlover #cute | Howstuffworks
