Imagine spending much of your day asleep? That’s the leisurely life of a brown-throated sloth. These arboreal mammals spend the bulk of their time hanging around the cecropia tree canopy in tropical places like the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve in Peru or the cloud forests of Costa Rica. One could say munching leaves is their livelihood. The herbivores even have a special tongue with sharp, backward-directed spines to aid in slicing the thick leaves.

Today, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Machu Picchu was designed and built in the 15th century as a royal estate for Inca emperor Pachacútec.
