Sloths are often misunderstood as lazy creatures with low intelligence due to their slow pace and unique adaptations. The reality is that being slow is a successful survival strategy that has allowed sloths to thrive for millions of years. Due to their poor eyesight and low-energy diet of leaves, sloths have evolved to move slowly and conserve energy. They have a low metabolism, little muscle mass, and rely on camouflage to avoid predators. The sloth’s incredible adaptations and abilities make them fascinating creatures that are far from lazy.
