A new study explores the fascinating evolutionary journey of sloths, revealing how their lifestyle contributed to their survival.
While their slow metabolism and tree-dwelling habits aided smaller sloths, larger ground sloths fell prey to early human hunters.
This highlights the significant impact of human activity on megafauna, leading to the extinction of numerous species.
The study underscores the importance of conservation efforts to protect the remaining sloth species, remnants of a diverse past.
