In scientific terms a sloth is known as Eremotherium laurillardi
Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ChordataClass: MammaliaSubclass: TheriaInfraclass: EutheriaSuperorder: XenarthraOrder: PilosaSuborder: FolivoraThe living sloths belong to one of two families, known as the Megalonychidae ("two-toed" sloths) and the Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths).
The Linnaean classification of a sloth is as follows: Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Pilosa, and Family Bradypodidae for three-toed sloths or Family Megalonychidae for two-toed sloths. Within these families, there are several genera and species, such as Bradypus for three-toed sloths and Choloepus for two-toed sloths. Sloths are known for their slow movement and unique adaptations for a tree-dwelling lifestyle.
there are two types of sloth wich are1. 2toed sloth2. 3toed sloth
There are actually six different species of sloth living today. They are listed below.Three-toed sloths:-Pale-throated sloth (Bradypus tridactylus)-Brown-throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus)-Maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus)-Pygmy Three-toed sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus)Two-toed sloths:-Hoffman's Two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni)-Linnaeus's Two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus)

Variations of sloths primarily include two main types: two-toed sloths and three-toed sloths. Two-toed sloths belong to the genus Choloepus and have two claws on their front limbs, while three-toed sloths, from the genus Bradypus, have three claws. Each type has several species, such as the Hoffman’s two-toed sloth and the brown-throated three-toed sloth, differing in size, fur color, and habitat preferences. Additionally, variations can be seen in their behavior and diet, depending on their specific environments.
3 Toed Sloths are mostly solitary Animals so they live mostly alone.
There are two species of two-toed sloth. They are listed below.Choloepus didactylus (Linnaeus's Two-toed Sloth)Choloepus hoffmanni (Hoffman's Two-toed Sloth)
they live in central and south America

Yes, there are six recognized species of sloths, which are categorized into two families: the two-toed sloths (Choloepus) and the three-toed sloths (Bradypus). While some classifications may vary slightly, the commonly accepted number of distinct sloth species is six. These species are primarily found in Central and South America, each adapted to their specific environments.
