Sloths are herbivores. Sloths specialize in
eating leaves, which means they are folivores. Other food items in their diet include
tender shoots and occasionally fruits. Sloths have been recorded eating
insects, small reptiles and even birds to supplement their low energy diet. One
their favourite trees are Cecropia.
