What is a Sloth? Sloths come from one of the earliest mammalian orders, Xenarthra, and originated about 35 million years ago in the Late Eocene of South America. They are most closely related to armadillos and anteaters. Today, only two genera of sloths with five species exist in South America, whereas there used to be over thirty-five genera of the extinct ground sloths ranging from parts of Antarctica, South America, Central America, Hispaniola, and North America with some even going as far as Alaska. The extinct sloths also varied in body size from about 1 meter (equaling living sloth size) all the way up to elephant sized in the largest genus, Megatherium. The two modern genera of sloths are Bradypus (Brad-e-pus), the three-toed sloths, and Choloepus (Co-lee-pus), the two-toed sloths. The number of toes is only indicative of the forefoot as the hind feet of both genera have three toes. Though both of the living genera of sloths look similar, live in the trees, and have a suspensory mode of movement, they are not related. Bradypus is most closely related to the family Megatheriidae and Choloepus to the family Megalonychidae.
