RE: Why are Sloth's so Slow?!

in #animals7 years ago

Lazy animal and too slow.
I guess why they move slowly is being herbivores, the only thing they eat would be leaves and would techniqually be a folivore or a strict leaf eater, no fruits or vegetables for them. That being said, these leaves doesn’t give them enough energy to move around very much. They also have a very slow metabolism and no higher muscle mass except what is need for them to grip and climb trees. They are able to move faster but that would cause them to lose more energy than necessary. Have a great weekend @hilarski.
