It’s time for a dip! The pygmy three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal in the world. They move around two metres per minute! 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

The low-nutrient diet from the mangrove leaves they eat, combined with the isolation of living on an island, has made these sloths almost 40% smaller than their continental counterparts. #Panama #sloths #island | The Sloth Conservation Foundation | Facebook
