I am aware sloths are monsters, but damn it do I love them.
Did ya know that sloths can hold their breath for 40 minutes?
Via The Dodo:
Using their patented sloth-y version of doggy paddle, they move through water up to three times faster than they move on land. They can slow their heart rate to one-third of its normal pace, allowing sloths to hold their breath underwater for up to 40 minutes.
