A sloth are medium-sized mammals that live in trees of the rainforests of Central and South America.
Sloths are considered folivores due to their diet mainly consisting buds, tender shoots, and leaves, mainly of Cecropia trees. There are documentations of the two-toed sloths consuming insects, small lizards, and birds in small quantities to supplement a herbivorous diet. Sloths, like many vertebrates, also display a degree of coprophagy (greek for "feces-devourer") to acquire additional bacteria that would further break down food particles (mainly plant cell walls) and assist digestion.
