The sloth is a mammal that is only found in the forests of Central and South America.
It lives high up in trees, feeding primarily on leaves and sometimes flowers and fruit.
Rarely does it sink to the ground. And when he does, it's with great care, because he's so used to life in the tree that, when he's on the ground, he can easily be captured by his natural enemies, like the jaguar.
But, to do your needs, which happens once a week, there is no other way out.
It slowly descends the trunk of the tree and, when it reaches the ground, makes a hole in the ground with its small, short and hard tail.
