Sloths Hold Breath Longer Than Dolphins

Sloths can slow their heart rate and hold their breath for up to 40 minutes, while dolphins usually manage around 10 minutes underwater.

This incredible adaptation allows sloths to stay submerged in water for extended periods, helping them evade predators and conserve energy. Their slow metabolism and unique physiology contribute to this remarkable ability, making sloths one of the most fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom.
