And now, one of the weirdest records yet: two sloths synchronized (!!). So many questions!

When pooping is an epic journey 💩🦥 Sloths are known for their bizarre toilet habits: once a week, they climb down to the ground to defecate at the base of trees. This requires a lot of energy (which they don’t have much of) and leaves them vulnerable. So why do they do it? Visit our website to learn more about sloths, and make a gift to help us continue our research and conservation projects to protect sloths in the wild (so they can poop in peace). #SlothFact #Sloth #Biology #Fun | The Sloth
