The strange lifestyle of the two-toed sloth: swimming extremely fast... sleeping extremely long hours.

Despite its seemingly slow and sluggish appearance, the two-toed sloth possesses the ability to swim faster than one might imagine.

There are only two toes on the forelimbs. The obvious difference between two-toed sloths and three-toed sloths is the structure of the forelimbs. Photo: Pinterest.

They are slow but strong. Two-toed sloths move very slowly but have surprisingly strong grip, allowing them to cling tightly to branches. Photo: Pinterest.

They sleep up to 15 hours a day. They spend most of the day hanging in trees sleeping or resting. Photo: Pinterest.

Their fur has its own ecosystem. Sloths' fur contains algae and small insects, helping them camouflage themselves in the jungle. Photo: Pinterest.

Good at moving underwater. Although slow on land, sloths are good swimmers and can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes. Photo: Pinterest.

Their digestion is extremely slow. It takes them several weeks to digest a meal consisting solely of leaves. Photo: Pinterest.

Live alone. Two-toed sloths do not live in groups, each individual chooses a tree area to live. Photo: Pinterest.

They communicate with loud sounds. They emit long calls to find mates and mark their territory. Photo: Pinterest.
