		The longevity of two-toed sloths is 29 years, according to Moeller (1975, quoted by Wetzel, 1982) but it may even be longer in Hoffmann's sloth (up to 32 years, according to Nowak's sources).
		The brown three-toed and rare two-toed sloths are tree-dwelling leaf eaters with an incredibly sluggish, fermentation-based digestive system.

	Faultiere - netlexikon
		Es sind fünf rezente Arten bekannt, die sich in die beiden Familien der Zweifinger-Faultiere (Megalonychidae) und der Dreifinger-Faultiere (Bradypodidae) aufteilen.
		Zu den ausgestorbenen Megatheriidae zählen das bekannte Riesenfaultiere Megatherium und andere große Arten, die Megalonychidae umfassen neben den lebenden Zweifinger-Faultieren auch ausgestorbene Arten wie das Riesenfaultier Megalonyx und die Faultiere der Großen Antillen.
		Seit ihrer Entdeckung durch die Europäer genossen Faultiere einen denkbar schlechten Ruf, der sich auch in ihrem deutschen Namen widerspiegelt.

		Kleinere Gattungen der Megatheriidae waren beispielsweise Hapalops und Nothrotheriops, die rund 1,2 Meter lang wurden.
		Zur Familie der Megalonychidae gehören auch die rezenten Zweifinger-Faultiere.
		Ausgestorbene Arten dieser Familie sind zum Beispiel Megalonyx jeffersonii, dessen Überreste bereits 1796 in Kentucky gefunden wurden und die zu den ältesten bekannten Fossilienfunden überhaupt zählen sowie einige ausgestorbene Arten der Großen Antillen.

		\nSloths are medium-sized South American mammals belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Xenarthra.
		The ongoing destruction of South America's forests, however, may soon require revision of other sloths' "endangered" status.

		Currently the group includes armadillos, two-toed sloths, three-toed sloths, and anteaters, placed in four families: Dasypodidae (armadillos), Myrmecophagidae (anteaters), Bradypodidae (tree-toed sloths), and Megalonychidae (two-toed Sloths).
		Sloths are the most diverse Xenarthran group with about 100 known genera, but most of them became extinct around 10,000 years ago, such that only five species continue to exist in Central and South America.
		Sloths are traditionally arranged into two extinct, Megatheriidae and Mylodontidae, and two extant families, Megalonychidae (with genus Choloepus) and Bradypodidae (with genus Bradypus).
