Did you know some ancient sloth species were as big as elephants?
Sloths are not exactly known for their speed.
Thirty million years ago modern day sloths diverged from ancient giant sloths, which were, as their name suggests, much bigger – some weighing up to 3800kg, around the size of an elephant. Today's sloths tend to weigh between 4 and 6kg.
