As the laziest animal in the world, sloths can be said to take laziness to the extreme. Zoologists once observed a jaguar and found a sleeping sloth in a tree and bit the sloth's hind legs, while the sloth was still asleep, and the jaguar easily dragged the sloth down the tree and ate it. Moreover, the sloth moves very slowly, and even when it encounters danger, it can only run at a speed of 10 meters per minute.
Moreover, the sloth does not even bother to eat, only eats the leaves that are readily available in the mouth, and is too lazy to chew them, waiting for the leaves to be digested by saliva in their mouths before swallowing. <>
Highly arboreal sloths spend most of their lives in trees, and hardly get down from trees except for pooping. It is such an animal, but it has not become extinct, which shows that it still has its own way of survival. Not only do sloths never leave the rainforest in their lifetime, but they only survive on a few trees in their lifetime, and the farthest they can walk is the distance between two adjacent trees.
So, they perfectly avoid the risk of exposure and the risk of migration. There are no such unexpected wear and tear. It is also difficult to spot by large carnivores.
Because sloths live on the tops of large trees more than ten meters high all their lives, they skillfully avoid most of the predators on the ground. Due to the laziness of the sloth, the sloth is the corpse of the sloth, and some algae grow on the body of the sloth with the dead body of the sloth, covering the whole body of the sloth, so that the sloth has a green protective color, which is difficult to find in the dense leaves. And according to people who have eaten sloth meat, sloth meat is fishy and firewood, very unpalatable, and an adult sloth only has two catties of meat, and few carnivores are willing to spend a lot of physical strength to catch sloths to eat.
And the paws on the forelimbs of the sloth can be up to 8 cm long. If you get caught, you will be injured. <>
Sloths have no specific predators, they are just a meal for some kind of carnivore that is so hungry that it stumbles upon it. So, they were able to live safely to this day, the sloth is an ancient mammal, as early as tens of millions of years ago began to evolve, to the present is the destruction of the rainforest caused by the destruction of the rainforest to endanger a very small number of pygmy three-toed sloths, other sloths are living very chic. Although sloths are known for being lazy and slow to react, they also have their own rules of survival.
It is no accident that they have endured for tens of millions of years.
-
The meat of the sloth is very unpalatable, and the special firewood has a particularly smelly smell, so humans and many animals will not choose to eat it, its metabolism is relatively slow, and some energy will accumulate in the body, so it can live to this day.
-
As the slowest animal in the world, the sloth can be said to have taken the "sloth" to the extreme, even in the face of danger, it tries its best to "run" at a speed of only about 10 meters per minute, which is just a running and jumping distance for the cougar, because the sloth's forelimbs are significantly thicker than the hind limbs, and the front and back limbs are disproportionate, so that the sloth can only rely on two forelimbs to drag the hind limbs forward when crawling.
-
This slow behavior of sloths means that their bodies don't use much energy. Exercise and consumption are not too large, and you don't need to consume too much food.
-
The animal that is slower than a sloth is a snail.
The crawling speed of the snail is slow, and the maximum speed of the sprint at full speed is meter hour, at which rate it takes 5 days to cover a distance of 1 km.
The snail is an animal that includes many different families and genera that feeds on plants and lays eggs in the soil or on trees. It is more common on tropical islands, but some also live in cold regions.
Arboreal species are bright in color, while terrestrial species are usually several close colors, generally striped. The largest snail in Africa, more than 20 cm in size, is often used in European snail species, especially in France.
-
1 garden snail.
It's no surprise that garden snails are definitely the slowest moving animals in the world. = The garden snail is also a type of land snail that moves at a maximum velocity of centimeters per second. This means that it takes 21 hours for a snail to move 1 km.
I think some plants grow faster than it, seriously.

Not to mention him, there are also slow animals, which I think there are turtles, and giant pandas In my cognition, I think they are all relatively slow.

The three-toed sloth is the slowest animal in the world and is native to the United States. They can only travel at a top speed of 0 003 miles per hour. Three-toed sloths do not move more than 100 feet in a day.
The three-toed sloth (scientific name: Bradypus tridactylus) is a mammal of the family Slothidae, the genus Sloth. The three-toed sloth has a small, round head, a body length of 50-60 cm, and long, rough needle hairs. The coat on the body is grayish-brown and greenish.
The three-toed sloth lives in trees all its life, cannot stand or walk on the ground, but can swim, has poor visual and hearing senses, feeds mainly on smell and touch, feeds only on the twigs, young leaves and buds of several species of mulberry plants, and is one of the slowest animals in the world. It mainly inhabits the moist treetop dense leaves of tropical forests, and is found in Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The three-toed sloth is listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2014 and VER Least Concern (LC).

Three-toed sloths: Three-toed sloths are the slowest animals in the world and are native to the United States. They can only travel at the top speed of miles per hour. Three-toed sloths do not move more than 100 feet in a day.

Because the sloth needs to rely on slow action to slow down the loss of energy in its body, after a long time, the sloth has slowly evolved into such a slow animal, even when it is chased by natural enemies, the sloth can't run fast, which has slowly become a way of life for him, not his own choice.
Sloths are one of the 10 slowest animals in the world, and they move very slowly, not daring to eat or walk. Whatever you do gives you a lazy feeling, and according to relevant studies, sloths don't even move more than thirty-eight meters in a day. Therefore, the sloth needs to constantly change its way of life to adapt to this slow life.
The main food of sloths is leaves, and sloths are herbivores, so their bodies lack a lot of energy. If you just eat grass, it is difficult to have enough exercise energy, so the sloth will make its metabolism become very slow, a sloth basically needs several months to digest what they ate in the last meal, it is because of this slow metabolism that the sloth does not have to eat a lot of things, they only need to hang on the tree a day, and constantly eat leaves slowly. A sloth is usually either moving slowly, or eating slowly.
Although the sloth's escape skills are not high, but the sloth is very good at camouflaging itself, his appearance is very similar to the trunk of the tree, generally the sloth will tightly protect the trunk around the enemy when it encounters the enemy, if the sloth hugs the trunk, then it is difficult to take it down. Coupled with the sloth's disguise, it will be difficult for him to be spotted by other enemies. Although it is difficult for sloths to reproduce, because they basically have no natural predators, and their average age can live to about ten years, it is difficult for sloths to become extinct, even if it is difficult to reproduce.
-
Sloths are herbivores that can only store energy by slowing down due to the lack of energy in their food, and their metabolism is too slow, so they cannot move quickly.
-
I think it's the result of the slow evolution of living beings, because although the sloth walks very slowly, it doesn't matter to him whether he walks or not, because in case of danger, it can completely hide itself from the enemy's sight.
-
Created by the evolution of their own race. In order to use less energy in your body, your metabolism is very slow, so the reaction speed will also decrease. Not to mention walking, even if you climb, it's very slow.
-
The ancestors of sloths evolved into such a natural birth, there are no natural predators and there is no need to avoid pursuit, but sloths swim very fast in the water, and they may also live in the water for a long time and forget how to walk on land.
-
Sloths are very slow and can only crawl kilometers per hour!

How lazy are sloths, and how do such animals survive?

The slowest animal in the world is the sloth, which belongs to the family of mammals, and the sloth usually has three toes, hence the name three-toed sloth. People who like to watch anime must be familiar with the character of the sloth in "Zootopia", although its name is lightning, but it moves slowly, and the same is true for the sloth in reality, so it is known as the slowest creature in the world. Sloths live in trees all year round and cannot live on the ground because their limbs do not support them to stand or walk.
Sloths have a decent swimming ability, but they are also not very fast moving in the water. Sloths have poor hearing and vision, and when foraging, they usually rely on their keen sense of smell and touch of their limbs to complete their hunting activities. Sloths are vegetarian animals that feed on their branches and leaves, as well as some of their buds, because they live on trees all year round.
Sloths tend to live in the tropics and prefer humid environments.
Sloths are found in several countries with tropical forests, and are abundant in Brazil in the Americas, as well as in Guyana and several countries, including Venezuela. The average length of the sloth's body is about half a meter, the longest can grow to 60 or 70 cm, and the length of the tail is close to 10 cm, and the average weight is about ten catties.
The sloth's body is covered with needle-like hair, which is very long, but extremely coarse, and the length of the needle alone is close to 6 cm. The hair on its body is very fine and at the same time highly elastic. The sloth's fur is originally grayish brown, but as it grows and develops, it grows gray and white hairs on the throat.
Because they prefer to live in very humid environments, their hair surface is covered with algae that are easy to grow in humid terrain, and these algae are green in color, so the sloth's fur looks green from a distance.
The head of the sloth is very small and very round, which makes them highly recognizable. It has a very short nose and mouth, small eyes and ears, and some differences in its limbs, with its forelimbs being larger than its hind limbs and hook-like claws on its toes. It is well known that the hair of sloths is relatively hard, mostly needle-like, and the direction of hair growth is different from that of other organisms.
The hair of normal creatures grows from top to bottom, but the hair of a sloth grows backwards, as if it has been blown by a strong wind. In addition to the three-toed sloth, there is also a two-toed sloth, which interested friends can learn about.

How lazy are the sloths, trees grow on their bodies, they have to go down the trees to excrete, and carnivores are too lazy to eat.
Men's, women's, men's women's fights, waiting for you, waiting for you.
The squirrel is a beautiful little animal, well-behaved, tame, and very likable. Although they sometimes catch birds, they are not carnivores, and often eat almonds, hazelnuts, beeches and acorns. They have delicate faces, sparkling eyes, athletic bodies, light limbs, very agile and alert. >>>More
