An adult female produces about one offspring a year. She nurses it for six weeks but begins giving the baby leaves by the time it is two weeks old. The mother carries the baby for about six months, showing it the trees and lianas she feeds on. Abruptly, mother leaves the baby on its own to live in a home range where it has learned which species it may eat. If the young sloth can survive the separation stage (mortality of young sloths is high), it can live to be 20 to 50 years old.
