The two-toed sloth, known scientifically as Choloepus, is a slow-moving mammal found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. Unlike their three-toed relatives, they have two long toes on their front limbs, which help them grasp branches. These sloths are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, fruits, and flowers, and they have a low metabolic rate that allows them to survive on a limited diet. Two-toed sloths are excellent climbers, spending most of their lives hanging upside down in trees. Their unique adaptations, such as a slow movement and a greenish fur that hosts algae, help them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage from predators like harpy eagles and jaguars.
