LR41 Sloth (IM)

A sloth is a slow-moving animal that lives in trees. It eats leaves and doesn't move much, which helps it (to) save energy. The sloth uses very little energy, or calories, because of its slow lifestyle. It only burns about 100-200 calories a day. That's less than a tenth of what a human uses! Also, while the average human ingests, digests, and eliminates waste from food around 12-48 hours, sloths can take 30 days to completely digest a single leaf. Therefore, sloths sometimes die of starvation even when they are eating, because they cannot digest their food in time.
