New research reveals the secrets behind sloths' amazing survival, highlighting their adaptability over millions of years.
While known for their slow movements, this trait, combined with tree-dwelling habits, proved crucial for their continued existence.
Giant ground sloths, unfortunately, became easy prey for early humans, leading to their extinction.
Today's smaller, tree-dwelling sloths represent a tiny fraction of a once-diverse group, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts.
