Interesting things about sloths. A sloth is classified in 6 species and is a mammal. Adult sloths are brown-throated and a adult male sloth is pale-throated. They are the worlds slowest mammal. And believe it or not, sloths are good swimmers.

I would recommend you researching a sloth, because it was a fun animal and it was an easy topic. Also, if you need to turn in a paper about an animal in 3 days, you should research a sloth, because it doesn't take long to research.
