We have a very AMAZING #SlothFact video to share with you today!

Quiz: Do sloths drink water like other animals do in the wild?

Answer:
People often believe that sloths don’t drink water because it is very rare to see a sloth actually doing so. To see a mom and baby drink water together is pretty special!

It is true that sloths get hydration from the leaves and fruits they eat. In the rainforest, it is common to see sloths drinking or licking water off of leaves.

But sloths that live in mangrove areas probably use bodies of water more often for regular activities, like swimming, pooping, and drinking water! So as this video shows, the answer is yes, sloths do drink water, but it is a rare sight to see!
