Sometimes a baby sloth will fall from its mother’s chest to the ground where it is very vulnerable to predators.
When a baby sloth falls and becomes separated from mom, they will cry to alert their mother to where they are. Mom will climb down from the canopy to retrieve her baby, but as sloths have a top speed of 2mph, this journey will take a lot of time and energy.
