Hang in there. Slow down for a moment of #NatZooZen with two-toed #sloth Athena 🦥 🥰 and her kale. 🥬 Two-toed sloths are native to Central and South America and live in the canopies of tropical rainforests. Two-toed sloths are very slow moving and have a metabolic rate of about 40% to 45% of what would be expected for their body weight. Their body temperatures range between 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit, which helps them conserve energy. Thank you for your continued support. For more information

Smithsonian’s National Zoo announces launch of new, action-packed sloth cam. Two-toed sloths are native to Central America and northern South America, including Peru and Brazil. Their brownish-gray fur curves from the stomach to the back, unlike most mammals, allowing rain to run off.
