Sloths are known for their slow movement, which is an adaptation to their low-energy diet of leaves. They spend most of their lives hanging upside down in trees, using specially adapted claws to grip branches. Interestingly, sloths have a unique symbiotic relationship with algae, which grows on their fur and provides camouflage in the rainforest canopy. Additionally, sloths are excellent swimmers, able to hold their breath underwater for up to 40 minutes.
