Where do sloths live in the wild?
Quick Answer
Sloths live in the tropical forests of Central and South America. They spend most of their lives in trees, especially in humid lowland rainforest.
The Full Story
Sloths are arboreal mammals native to the Neotropics, meaning Central and South America. They are found in tropical forests from parts of Honduras and Nicaragua south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia. Different species occupy different forest regions, but all are strongly tied to tree canopies. Sloths are slow-moving and adapted to a low-energy lifestyle, feeding mainly on leaves. Their forest habitat is essential for both food and safety.
