What Is A Sloth' 10 Incredible Facts About The Sloth (Pictures)

<blockquote><span style='color:#006600;'><b>Today as I was surfing the Internet as usual, I came across a mammalian animal called &quot;Sloth&quot;. You gonna enjoy reading about this animal. Trust me.</span><br><br>What is a slot and what are the ten incredible facts about a sloth' </b><br><br>Sloths have long legs, stumpy tails, and rounded heads with inconspicuous ears. Although they possess colour vision, their eyesight and hearing are not very acute; orientation is mainly by touch. <br><br>The limbs are adapted for suspending the body rather than supporting it. As a result, sloths are completely helpless on the ground unless there is something to grasp. <br><br>Even then, they are able only to drag themselves along with their claws. They are surprisingly good swimmers.<br><br>Sloths have large multichambered stomachs and an ability to tolerate strong chemicals from the foliage they eat. The leafy food is digested slowly; a fermenting meal may take up to a week to process. <br><br>The stomach is constantly filled, its contents making up about 30 percent of the sloths weight. Sloths descend to the ground at approximately six-day intervals to urinate and defecate. <br><br><b>A single young is born after almost 12 months gestation.</b><br><br>The offspring emerges head first and face upward as the mother hangs. As soon as the babys front limbs are free, it grasps the abdominal hair of the mother and pulls itself to her chest. <br><br>The mother sometimes assists in birth by pulling on the young. The mother then chews through the umbilical cord, and the young sloth, after its eyes and ears open, clings to the fur of the mother for about five weeks. <br><br>After it leaves its mother, it reaches maturity in two to three years. In captivity, two toed-sloths have lived more than 20 years; maximum life span is thought to be over 30.<br><br><span style='color:#006600;'><b>To understand a sloth better Mr. Odewale Adesoye (A. K.
