The three-toed sloth moves deliberately though the canopy of the South American Amazon. These unassuming leaf-eaters are known for hanging upside down and exhibiting an extraordinary lassitude--evolutionary traits to avoid the notice of sharp-eyed birds of prey. The harpy eagle often dines upon the three-toed sloth, which grows to seven to ten pounds.
