THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY SLOTH LOVER - this is the seventh official calendar put out by The Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo) and is the only calendar to directly benefit sloth conservation in the wild. International Sloth Day was created in 2010 by AIUNAU, a Colombian non-profit animal welfare foundation that rehabilitates wild animals and reintroduces them to their natural habitat. It was originally observed on the Wednesday of the third week of October, but in recent years, International Sloth Day events have been typically held on October 20. FUN SLOTH FACTS - this rare and exclusive imagery features sloth conservation at its finest, from orphan baby sloths in rescue centers to wild sloths in virgin rainforest.

For example, did you know that sloths sometimes kiss each other? Or that twin sloths are almost unheard of? (Pictures of some of the only known twin sloth babies featured here!)

Two-toed sloths are omnivorous; their diverse diet includes leaves, fruits, insects, small lizards and carrion. However, leaves are their main food source. Three-toed sloths are almost exclusively herbivorous. Their diet is limited to leaves from only a few trees. Since leaves are a very poor source of energy and are hard to digest, sloths digest their food very slowly in their multi-chambered stomachs where tough leaves are broken down by symbiotic bacteria. It can take a month or more for a well-fed sloth to digest its meal.

International Sloth Day Facts

FUN SLOTH FACTS - each picture is accompanied by fun sloth facts brought to you by none other than the world’s leading expert on the subject, Dr. Rebecca Cliffe. International Sloth Day seeks to raise awareness about the life and conservation of sloths, a unique group of arboreal mammals found primarily in Central and South America. These slow-moving creatures are known for their distinct adaptations and lifestyles. The observance highlights the importance of protecting their natural habitats and encourages human coexistence with these animals. International Sloth Day also aims to dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding these creatures, promoting education and responsible eco-tourism. Sloths received their name due to their extremely low metabolism and deliberate movement that make them seem “lazy”. They spend most of their time hanging upside down in the trees. However, contrary to a popular misconception, they don’t sleep 90% of their time; they’re just being motionless.

Premium Calendars for convenient year-round, day, week and month planning, appointments, and scheduling. Large calendar aka calender displays most major holidays.

Trees are where sloths eat, sleep, and even give birth. They would occasionally go to the ground to urinate and defecate but always return to the trees as soon as possible because sloths are very vulnerable on the ground due to their slow movements.

The pygmy three-toed sloth is critically endangered, and the maned three-toed sloth is classified as vulnerable. THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY SLOTH LOVER - this is the seventh official calendar put out by The Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo) and is the only calendar to directly benefit sloth conservation in the wild. SloCo is an organization dedicated to saving sloths through research and conservation initiatives (learn more at www.slothconservation.org) and by purchasing this calendar you will be directly supporting important work to safeguard a future for these weird and wonderful animals. The day was first established in 2010 by the AIUNAU Foundation, a Colombian non-profit organization that focuses on the protection and welfare of wildlife. While the United Kingdom may be thousands of miles from the tropical rainforests that these animals call home, UK residents can still play a significant role in sloth conservation. This is particularly important due to the increasing rate of deforestation and habitat loss caused by human activity, which has placed some species of sloths on the endangered list. International Sloth Day Date in the current year: October 20, 2023 International Sloth Day was created to draw attention to an unusual animal that lives in Central and South America and needs protection since one of the six extant sloth species is endangered and another is vulnerable. It is observed annually on October 20.

Most sloth species are about the size of a large dog (except for pygmy sloths, obviously). Two-toed sloths are slightly larger than three-toed sloths. Sloths are notable for their long, curved claws that allow them to hang upside down from tree branches and their greenish fur. Their coat owes its color to symbiotic green algae which serve as camouflage. Leap into 2024 with a heartwarming parade of natures charm with our 2024 Animal Wall Calendar Collection.
