Sloth
In the context of zoology, sloths are an animal belonging to the order of xenarthros, and are a family of South American mammals adapted to live in the forests suspended from the trees, which they climb. Sloths feed on leaves and their movements are very slow. They do not have incisor teeth and have strong, long claws, very arched on all four limbs, which allow them to sleep suspended without any muscular effort.
