Sloths spend almost all of their time in the treetops. They are quite clumsy when walking along the ground, but agile and strong when moving from branch to branch. They are herbivorous or herbivorous-omnivorous, depending on the species. They choose their favorite leaves, fruits and shoots through smell. It is also by smell that they distinguish between rotten branches and those that can support their weight.
