Sloths Take Their Time
Edulin Children’s News · Week of 5 July 2026
Sloths are among the slowest mammals.
Sloths are among the slowest mammals. They move so slowly that algae grow on their fur, giving them a greenish colour that helps them hide in trees. They sleep or rest for up to 15 hours a day and come down to the ground only about once a week. Their slow speed saves energy because their leafy diet gives them little. Slow is sometimes just right.
