However, when swimming, they’re capable of moving around three times faster. Their diet of leaves generates large amounts of gas in the sloth’s stomach, helping to keep them buoyant. | BBC Earth | Facebook

Have you ever heard a baby sloth? 🦥💚 Baby sloths make sounds to call their mothers. Two-fingered babies, like this one, make a “meep,” while three-fingered babies produce a high-pitched call. This baby was orphaned and cared for at a local rescue center, then reintroduced into the wild. Remember, sloths are not pets! Celebrate #SlothTober and #InternationalSlothDay by visiting our Slothopedia and making a gift to sloths! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
