Why sloths are slow ????

Sloths might be slow, but they're not lazy.
There's a good reason these animals conserve their energy

*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________

Sloths are folivores, feeding on a low energy diet of tough, rubbery leaves. They only eat a couple of handfuls a day, but this can take up to two weeks to digest in a multi-chambered stomach. They compensate for this poor diet with a slow-paced lifestyle, expending as little energy as possible. These creatures have been around for about 65 million years, so it’s clearly lifestyle that works.
