Sloths, like all living things, need to defecate, which usually happens once per week.

They are known for their incredibly slow-moving natures, but it turns out that such sluggishness also carries over into their bathroom habits.

Sloths only defecate every five to seven days on average, and actually lose up to one-third of their body weight in a single movement.

They also eat very little food per day since digestion takes a long time to complete, sometimes even days or weeks.

Sloths are arboreal creatures, which means that they live, work and play high up in the trees.

Their chosen habitats are the rain and cloud forests of Central and South America.

Most other arboreal animals, like monkeys, poop from the trees, but not sloths.

They are known to make a slow, arduous journey from the tree canopy to the bottom of the tree in order to defecate.
