Watching a sloth climbing is truly mesmerizing. The muscles that sloths use to grip and produce a pulling motion are much more prominent than those that produce a pushing movement because sloths primarily use their arms to pull themselves upwards or to pull branches towards the body. Sloth muscles are also predominantly made up of specialized slow-twitch fibers (also called type 1 muscles) and produce the slow, deliberate, and controlled movements shown by sloths.

This is a busy sloth crossing! It is amazing to see sloths using our rope bridges so frequently! 🦥 If you look closely on the tree there is a camera trap that also captured this close-up! 🎥 | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

How many sloths can you count? 🤔 All these sloths are resting on a single Guarumo tree. Although it's hard to notice, this area's habitat has been severely disturbed, and this Guarumo is in a small patch of forest between a surfer's beach and the main road. 🌱 The Connected Gardens Project aims to restore habitat in urban areas like this one by planting sloth-friendly trees and installing Sloth Crossings canopy bridges. | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
