There are also many references to old fairy tales and mythology as the sloth is considered to be quite a mysterious animal.

Sure, we know a fair bit about them, but their rhyme and reason for the behaviors are so alien to us as people that they may as well be from another planet!

Sloths are slow and steady, sure, but they are also inquisitive and quite logical and that is reflected in many of these names.
