Description:

Two sloths can be seen in a tree, one of them climbing a branch as a parrot is perched above it.
The two-toed sloth is a mammal in the family Megalonychidae native to the Americas. It can’t walk and spends most of its life hanging from trees. Its diet is herbivorous and it feeds mostly on leaves and fruit.

The caption reads in the original German: Zweizehenfaultier.
