Sloths are a Neotropical group of xenarthran mammals constituting the suborder Folivora, including the extant arboreal tree sloths and extinct terrestrial ground sloths.
The slowness of sloths is attributed to adaptations related to their diet. They depend on a diet of leaves, which are poor in nutrients and low in calories, and so their slow-moving arboreal lifestyle, which favours a slow metabolism, is designed to conserve energy.
