Another user commented, "I love sloths but every time I see a "cute sloth" video I'm just worried that some fool will think "oooh I will get a pet sloth."

The third user wrote, "Could you imagine going 0.1 mph your whole life and then this mind blown." 

"So sloths perceive time differently, right? They perceive time as moving faster than we do. So let's say it's a 10-minute boat ride. To the sloth, it only lasts a minute. Let's say they were taking the sloth from one side of the river to the next... it would happen so quickly the sloth may not perceive it at all. It would be the equivalent of something happening in seconds, for us. Blink and you miss it," the fourth commented.

Sloths are tree-dwelling animals and are found in the rainforests of Central and South America. They also sleep for 15 to 20 hours a day.
