Sloth’s Evolutionary Secret Shocks Scientists
Sloths once roamed the Americas, ranging from tiny, cat-sized animals that lived in trees all the way up to massive ground sloths that may have weighed up to six tons. The only species we know and love today, however, are the two-toed and three-toed sloths--but paleontologists have been arguing how to classify them, and their ancestors, for decades.
