Description
Sloths are mammals classified in the families Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths) and Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths). There are six extant species of sloths. They are named after the capital sin of sloth because they seem slow and lazy at first glance; however, their usual idleness is due to metabolic adaptations for conserving energy. Aside from their surprising bursts of speed during emergency flights from predators, other notable traits of sloths include their strong body, the ability to swim, and the fact that they host symbiotic algae on their fur.

Very nice capture of this sloth. Well done.
Did you take the picture in a zoo?
Some time ago I also took a photo of a sloth in a zoo (Rostocker Zoo) and there the sloth moved slowly over my head along a branch. There was just feeding time.
Fantastic capture and interesting text! I'm going to try that excuse the next time my wife gives me a chore list: "I can't do that right now because of my metabolic adaptations for conserving energy."
ca c'est mon mari!
