How Sloths Adapt to Their Environment
This remarkable breath-holding ability helps sloths navigate the dense jungles of Central and South America, where they often need to cross rivers to move between trees. Sloths are excellent swimmers, and their long, powerful arms are well-suited to paddling through the water. While their slow movements on land are often a result of their energy-efficient lifestyle, this adaptation gives them an advantage in the wild, allowing them to move across their habitat more efficiently and safely.
