Sloths belong to the family Megalonychidae, which includes two-toed sloths, and also to the family Bradypodidae, which encompasses three-toed sloths. Both families are part of the order Pilosa, which also includes anteaters. These families evolved from a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago, leading to the diverse species of sloths we see today. Sloths are primarily found in Central and South America, adapting to a tree-dwelling lifestyle.
