    Apparently the two-toed sloth comes down from the trees solely for eliminating waste. This is usually about once a week.

    They go down about once a week to relieve themselves.

    "Sloths are the slowest land mammals. Their top speed on the ground is 5 ft/min. Up in the trees, they speed up to 15 ft/min."
