International Sloth Day was created in 2010 by AIUNAU, a Colombian non-profit animal welfare foundation that rehabilitates wild animals and reintroduces them to their natural habitat. It was originally observed on the Wednesday of the third week of October, but in recent years, International Sloth Day events have been typically held on October 20.There are four living species of three-toed sloths (the brown-throated sloth, the pale-throated sloth, the maned sloth, the pygmy sloth) and two living species of two-toed sloths (Linnaeus’s sloth and Hoffmann’s sloth). The pygmy three-toed sloth is critically endangered, and the maned three-toed sloth is classified as vulnerable. Sloths received their name due to their extremely low metabolism and deliberate movement that make them seem “lazy”. They spend most of their time hanging upside down in the trees. However, contrary to a popular misconception, they don’t sleep 90% of their time; they’re just being motionless. ORGANIZE YOUR - Go get your calendar as part of your organizer kit.

International Sloth Day Date in the current year: October 20, 2023 International Sloth Day was created to draw attention to an unusual animal that lives in Central and South America and needs protection since one of the six extant sloth species is endangered and another is vulnerable. It is observed annually on October 20.

International Sloth Day seeks to raise awareness about the life and conservation of sloths, a unique group of arboreal mammals found primarily in Central and South America. These slow-moving creatures are known for their distinct adaptations and lifestyles. The observance highlights the importance of protecting their natural habitats and encourages human coexistence with these animals. International Sloth Day also aims to dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding these creatures, promoting education and responsible eco-tourism.Trees are where sloths eat, sleep, and even give birth. They would occasionally go to the ground to urinate and defecate but always return to the trees as soon as possible because sloths are very vulnerable on the ground due to their slow movements. Two-toed sloths are omnivorous; their diverse diet includes leaves, fruits, insects, small lizards and carrion. However, leaves are their main food source. Three-toed sloths are almost exclusively herbivorous. Their diet is limited to leaves from only a few trees. Since leaves are a very poor source of energy and are hard to digest, sloths digest their food very slowly in their multi-chambered stomachs where tough leaves are broken down by symbiotic bacteria. It can take a month or more for a well-fed sloth to digest its meal.
