In this episode of “sloths vs” we are taking a look at another member of the Xenarthra; the anteater. Anteaters are in fact the sloth’s closest living relative, though by “close” we don’t actually mean very close.

Sloths are far from being simple, lazy creatures that just sleep all day. They are complex, mysterious animals with an evolutionary history, features, and characteristics so weird that you might accuse us of making them up.
