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 | Facebook

A sloth being moved to a safer place is a delicate and heartwarming rescue effort. Due to habitat loss or dangerous encounters, wildlife rescuers often step in to relocate these slow-moving creatures to protected areas. Carefully handled to minimize stress, the sloth clings tightly to a branch or its rescuer, its big eyes blinking in curiosity. Once released into a safe environment, it slowly climbs to a secure spot, ready to continue its peaceful life among the trees. Credit unknown Please DM u
