15 Cute Sloth Pictures That Will Make You Squel With Delight

Sloths are some of the most interesting species living in the tropics. These animals mainly live in trees and are known for moving at a very slow and languid pace. In fact, their speed (or lack thereof) earned them their name! They travel only about 41 meters a day and have an extremely slow metabolic rate. However, that does not mean sloths are lazy bums. They’re actually some of the cleanest creatures around.

The IUCN also rates Hoffmann's two-toed sloth and Linnaeus's two-toed sloth as species of least concern.
