How sloth are you?

Sloths.

Those super-cute, slow-motion heroes of tropical rainforests spend their lives at a leisurely pace to say the least. Most of these small little creatures spend the vast majority of their lives hanging upside down in trees, although some (now extinct) species grew to the size of elephants! Presumably they died out because the branches snapped.

Their sluggishness is their super-power, helping them avoid detection from predatory birds of prey and hunting wildcats. And they wear a camouflage of green algae to help keep them nourished and hidden amongst the undergrowth.

So, how similar are you to these super-zen creatures? Do you get wound up like a domestic cat or are you content to chomp on leaves and develop an ecosystem in your coat?

Let's find out!
