International Sloth Day

The world"s slowest mammal takes the spotlight today on International Sloth Day. Celebrated on October 20, this day invites us to learn more about their lives, including the threats they face, like shrinking habitats, and conservation efforts. There are six living sloth species, divided into two types: three-toed sloths and two-toed sloths.
