Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Sloth, Stuffed Animal, Educational, Plush Realistic Figure, Lifelike Model, Replica, Gift, 10

Sloths  are a group of  Neotropical  xenarthran  mammals constituting the suborder  Folivora, including the extant  arboreal  tree sloths and extinct terrestrial  ground sloths. Noted for their slowness of movement, tree sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the  tropical rainforests  of  South America  and  Central America. Sloths are considered to be most closely related to  anteaters, together making up the xenarthran order  Pilosa. There are six extant sloth species in two genera “  Bradypus  (three “toed sloths) and  Choloepus  (two “toed sloths). Despite this traditional naming, all sloths have three toes on each rear limb-- although two-toed sloths have only two digits on each forelimb.  The two groups of sloths are from different, distantly related families, and are thought to have evolved their morphology via  parallel evolution  from terrestrial ancestors. Besides the extant species, many species of ground sloths ranging up to the size of elephants (like  Megatherium) inhabited both North and South America during the  Pleistocene  Epoch. However, they became extinct during the  Quaternary extinction event  around 12,000 years ago, along with most large bodied animals in the New World. The extinction correlates in time with the arrival of humans, but  climate change  has also been suggested to have contributed. Members of an endemic  radiation  of  Caribbean sloths  also formerly lived in the  Greater Antilles  but became extinct after humans settled the archipelago in the mid-Holocene, around 6,000 years ago.
