It’s time for a dip! The pygmy three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal in the world. They move around two metres per minute! However, when swimming, they’re capable of moving around three times faster. Their diet of leaves generates large amounts of gas in the sloth’s stomach, helping to keep them buoyant. | BBC Earth

Have you ever heard a baby sloth cry? This baby is calling for its mother, who is high in the canopy of trees. Babies can fall from the tops of trees without being injured, and usually, their mothers will climb down to retrieve them. If it's not necessary, the best thing to do is wait for the mother and interfere as little as possible. And remember, although adorable, sloths do not make good pets! #Adoptasloth #cute #conservation | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
