💡 Trivia Sloths don't fall out of trees when they sleep because of how their claws evolved

[Beatriz9]

Fortunately for many a sleeping sloth, their claws evolved quite the opposite to how ours did.

While our hands are naturally open, and it takes force to clench them, this isn’t the case for sloths.

Instead, their claws’ “relaxed” position is a tight grip, and it takes quite a lot of force for them to unclench their claws.
