The sloth still exists today. They are not extinct.
The sloth is not lazy, the animal just has a bigger need for sleep, unlike the giraffe, which only needs 1.9 hours of sleep a day! ***The sloth is a very slow moving animal. Because it moves so slow, it has been nick named several names. Lazy animal, slow mo Joe are some of them.
To know this you've only to think of very slow creatures such as the snail or the (sloth)Sloth's don't even travel at 1metre per day! sloth's in the rainforest because it is so wet grow moss on their fur
Interesting connection. To answer that, you have to know what "Sloth" is. Sloth is basically extreme laziness - just sitting around all day, doing nothing, and doing even that very slowly. When the people were making up the Seven Deadly Sins, they came up with Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Pride and Greed pretty easily..then they got stumped. Wrath and Sloth filled out the dance card... When the animal now known as the Sloth was discovered, it's discoverers noted that it moved very slowly, if at all, and seemed to be very lazy...thus, they named it the Sloth. Can you imagine what they would have named it if it had picked up its poop and threw it at them?

Koala - Sleeps 22 Hrs a day. For more details referer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koala
Scarlet Macaws
The blue whale, it is the largest animal that has ever lived.
Scientific research indicates that it is a close contest for the title of the animal which sleeps the most. Top contenders are the Brown Bat and the Koala, both of which sleep between 18 and 20 hours a day.Surprisingly, the sloth is not even in the top ten. A fairly recent study from Germany on sloths in the wild indicates the sloth sleeps for just under 10 hours a day.

Sloth
The Koala is one of the sleepiest animals on earth, it typically sleeps between 20 to 22 hours a day. The sloth comes in at second sleeping for about 20 hours a day.
It is not reported how fast a three-toed sloth can run. A sloth typically sleeps 15 to 20 hours out of the day and is not really known for its running.
