I can honestly say I've never had that question before, who's asking these questions?

So I'm here to answer some questions about the

I can't imagine a sloth ever having a reason to want to.

But technically, they are classed as a dangerous animal.

We have to be very careful when we're working with the Sloths here at Chester

Zoo, so we do have to be aware of the fact that they are dangerous.

They have surprisingly big teeth, you wouldn't expect for an animal that mostly

They actually have very big teeth and it's not for eating.

But they are big and they are dangerous and they have very long reach.

So you think that you're miles away from them,

but they could still reach out and grab you if they wanted to and pull you closer to them

but I mean, they're lovely natured animals in general, unless - any animal really, I suppose,

but unless they had a reason to want to harm you, I can't imagine a sloth wanting to kill anyone, really.

I mean, I worry for the person who searched for this.

Can sloths fart? Erm, Actually, no, sloths can't fart.

Well, they do something I would say is probably more disgusting than farting,

so they don't fart in the way that we do.

what happens is that actually gets reabsorbed into their bloodstream and they

So they have like a mouth fart, which is worse.

Ok, Can sloths swim is actually a question we get asked a lot.

their arm span is ginormous and they're actually very good swimmers,

So in the wild, they'll literally fall from low hanging branches and trees.

But they can actually move at pace if they want to.

Our sloth, Rico, he does not like the hose

so if you turn the hose on while you're in the enclosure, he will, he'll move faster than you think he's going to.

So, yeah, if they want to, they definitely can move quicker than you think.

No. So basically, their body is just not set up for that,

if they need to make a fecal deposit, So they come to the ground to poo so they

but a sloth moving around on the ground is possibly one of the creepiest things

Yeah, it's it's more of like a crawl in a really strange way,

like something out of a horror film, really.

Sloths exist because they are ridiculously cool and the world would be rubbish without them.

Why do sloth's have such long claws, so um, I, to be fair,

would probably call them nails rather than claws because they don't use them

in the same way as most animals with claws would would use them

but actually they end up being kind of an extension of their foot.

On average, probably around 10 centimeters.

So if they were swiping at something, what they would be doing

is swiping at it to pull it closer to their mouth so they could bite it.

So they wouldn't really be causing any damage by swiping just with their like

claws. So their claws are mostly for movement purposes, really, getting

around. My favourite thing about sloths, and obviously I'm very lucky because I get to work with them every day.

Sloths are obviously renowned for being slow.

kind of revolves around them, the slowness,

I think people are obviously really interested in sloths, and that is great because they're amazing.

I think maybe people need to google less about like

Because there are loads of interesting things about sloths
