The Peruvian Black Sloth is a rare breed of sloth that is native to Peru. This species of Sloth was discovered by Mike (James) Johnson, a biologist. Johnson discovered this sloth when he was wandering through the forests of Peru. He was taking a picture of the foliage when the sloth zoomed by and was caught in the picture. Thus, the Peruvian Black Sloth was discovered. Eventually, Johnson learned more about this sloth.

Johnson discovered that the Black Sloth has migrated across the globe to parts of Asia, Mexico, Texas, and Australia (most still exist in Peru). Unfortunately, there are only 16,894 Black Sloths in existence today.

The Peruvian Black Sloth has four front teeth that are very sharp, and 8 molars (4 on each side) that are very dull and are used for grinding food. The Black Sloth enjoys eating the leaves of any tree, and has grown a liking to eucalyptus leaves. The Black Sloth can move at speeds of up to 65 mph (miles per hour). It moves at speeds of 30-40 mph on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. And they move at speeds of 55-65 mph on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
