Sloths primarily feed on leaves, fruits, and flowers, using their strong, curved claws to grasp branches while they slowly navigate the treetops. They have a low metabolic rate, which allows them to conserve energy and spend much of their time resting. Sloths use their keen sense of smell and taste to select the most nutritious foliage, and their slow movements help them avoid detection by predators while they forage.
