Some interesting facts about sloths found here. http://boingboing.net/2010/01/21/four-fun-facts-about.html

I thought this the most interesting.....imagine that, sloths have bathrooms.

Among the many sloth oddities is a very slow metabolism. They have the lowest body temperature of any mammal, Moore said, and they only use the bathroom once a week. That last bit has the added benefit of protecting them from predators, because their regular bathroom break is the only time sloths leave the trees. Even weirder, their digestive system is similar to a cow's, with a specialized, multi-chambered stomach that allows them to fully process leaves.
