The latter has three front toes rather than two.&nbsp; Brown-throated sloths are slightly smaller than their two-toed relatives because they are a little more active. There is also a species of Pygmy sloth that live solely in Bocas Del Toro in Panama. When it comes to being able to see sloths in Panama, this is extra special because there are less than 100 of these Pygmy sloths left in the world!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why are sloths soooo sloooow?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-923 aligncenter\" style=\"border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths4-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"479\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths4-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths4-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths4-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths4-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths4.jpg 626w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As nice as it would be to leave it at the fact that they are simply lazy and can\u2019t be bothered to move faster, that\u2019s not exactly true. A sloth\u2019s slowness is actually a survival skill. They have extremely slow metabolisms and digestive systems.&nbsp; So slow in fact, sloths can actually take over two weeks to digest a single meal! The sloths signature slowness conserves energy and allows them to survive on a simple herbivore diet of plants, leaves and the occasional insect.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why is their fur so weird?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-924 aligncenter\" style=\"border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"482\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-218x150.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-600x417.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-696x483.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-605x420.jpg 605w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5-200x140.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.therealdealtours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastinating-faqs-and-fun-facts-about-sloths5.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sloths have a lot more going on than what meets the eye.

No, really though. They have to climb down from the safety of their home up in the trees around once a week to \u201crelieve themselves\u201d and this counts for a large percentage of sloth mortality.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their long claws, sometimes extending over 4 inches long, make it tough for them to move on land. However, they are extremely strong swimmers with a breaststroke that is equal to that of a strong human swimmer.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sloths are not necessarily dangerous to humans unless they are made to feel at risk.
