Sloths, seperated in 2 families depending on how many claws they have, are mammals in the order pilosa well known for their slow movements and reactions. This slowness is due to how their metabolisms evolved in order to conserve energy. They are also known for their long limbs, hanging from trees, occasional green fur from algae or fungus growth, and their ability to swim. They tend to have shaggy and unkempt fur due to their hanging habits and slowness.
