20 Reasons Why You Should Live Your Life Like A Sloth!

It's no secret that sloths are awesome.

I mean, just look at those adorable button noses, those plump limbs that ever so slowly take them from one place to another, with great care and precision…

Those ridiculously cute claws.

Extinct species include the aquatic sloths (that we doubt would've won an Olympic medal for their swimming speed) and the massive ground sloths, some of which were as large as elephants.

Today, we can divide sloths into six species, of the two-toed and three-toed families, respectively. The bulk of their diets consist of foliage, though they also enjoy a tasty beetle or moth now and then.

Although we are very different, we could all learn quite a bit from our sloth friends. In fact, we should try to be a bit more like them.
