Sloths are surprisingly good at swimming.
Life can be difficult on the ground for sloths since their long clawed arms and shorter, weak hind legs make it impossible to stand on all fours. However, they are surprisingly strong swimmers. Sloth species living near mangroves or rivers sometimes drop into water bodies and swim large distances (in a short amount of time) when searching for potential mating partners or seeking new territory.
