Sloths hang upside down because their physiology and anatomy make it easier for them to move and maintain stability in that position. Their long limbs and claws are adapted for hanging in trees, allowing them to conserve energy and avoid predators while feeding on leaves and sleeping. Hanging upside down also helps sloths keep their internal organs from compressing when they are in a resting state.
