Sloths are known to be incredibly slow-moving mammals. 🦥🦥
But did you know that they often hang motionless on branches between feeding and sleeping, which can be up to 15-20 hours every day?🤔

🌊Manatees & dugongs are (mostly) slow-moving, herbivorous marine mammals.
One difference between them is their habitat. Dugongs rarely leave saltwater, whereas manatees can be found both in fresh and saltwater.
