There’s a lot to love about sloths: the impressively slow way they move, the adorable way they snuggle with humans, the goofy grins they have on their faces 24/7, and so much more.

Sloths have become quite popular over the years, and it’s no wonder why. In fact, there’s even an official sloth day every year on October 20 to celebrate the important role they play in our ecosystem! Although that day has passed, these adorable creatures deserve to be celebrated every single day, which is exactly why we’ve put together a collection of “awww”-worthy sloth photos below!
