The reason sloths move so slowly is because they are trying to conserve energy. Their herbivorous diet consists mostly of leaves, meaning it does not offer the benefit of fats or protein. This lack of nutrition leaves them without much energy (or desire) to move around.

On average, a sloth will travel less than 125 feet per day, and it can take them up to a full minute to move just a foot.

no, sloths only kill things like bugs that they eat, if you think of it sloths probably wouldn't have enough strenght to kill a human.

Sloths eat leaves, flower petals and other plant products. They are essentially herbivores. They are the perfect design presented so far by evolution to conserve energy to such an extreme that a simple feat like closing the eyelids takes a long time to be affected. So do their the most sluggish movement along the tree branch. They even give birth on trees.

They eat small insects, leaves and lots of vegetation and bugs. the three toed only eats off a certain tree -all the fruit trees and leaves and eats nothing else.the two toed sloths eat all the other above

Herbivores. Their claws are used to climb the thick bark of trees which is their main habitat.

Yes, apparently you can:

As of 2007, you don't need a license to own one, but they do live up to 30 years, so it's a huge commitment to be a sloth owner. They also have strict diets and habitat requirements. But in any case, it's at least legal.

The sloth is a medium-sized mammal, having at least six living species, and they live in the trees in the rainforests of Central and South America. Sloths are omnivores - meaning that they eat both meat and plants. SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Subclass: Theria Infraclass: Eutheria Superorder: Xenarthra Order: Pilosa Suborder: Folivora

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.

Sloths are not for sale to the general public as they are regarded as a threatened species. If somebody were to have one as a pet, the sloth would not have enough room to remain happy (suprising I know!) and they would be very smelly.

If you are interested in seeing and working with sloths then perhaps working in a sloth sanctuary as a volunteer would be a good idea. Simply search for it on google and there are many available although they are unpaid

It has adapted by being slow so no predator can see them as they climb trees. Also green algae grows on them so they blend in with the trees.

They also have long arms to help them with their strong swimming, also, they have long claws to help them grip/hang onto trees.
