There are two types of sloth. They look quite different and are defined by how many digits they have. Two-toed, Choloepus sloths actually have three toes, but only two fingers and look like a cross between a Wookiee and a pig. There are two species of two-toed sloth and neither is considered endangered, although their jungle homes are being chopped down at an alarming rate. This blissed-out Bradypus is Buttercup, the Queen of Slothville. Threeâtoed Bradypus sloths, have three fingers and three toes, mullet haircuts and Mona Lisa smiles.
