Not lazy, just motivationally challenged
This sloth seems to be in a hurry.

As a sloth myself, I can assure you that he or she can only be hurrying to a nice spot to sleep. The latrine is simply everything beneath our branches.
Statuary sloths here & here, I might add.
The early sloth gets the POOP with all the tasty corn niblets in it.
Not to mention the undigested fragments of mango.
I was under the impression that sloths do not betray their presence by pooping from the branches, but instead crawl down to ground level to excavate a hole in the ground. But I c.b.a. looking it up so I'll defer to Megatherium bouffant's personal experience.
I also want to say that if "statutary sloth" is not already a legal term, it should be.
"Statutary sloth" could well define M.B., ward of the nanny state. (Which leads to territory I'm not visiting!)
The mango distribution business must be handled at the proper pace.

They do crawl down and dig a hole near the tree. It doesn't happen frequently, so when they go, it's a
big production.
When a sloth does defecate, it is no small matter. The Bradypus variegatus is said to sometimes take as long as an hour to complete the process and can expel around 250 g of feces and 800 - 1200 ml or urine. This amount if translated to a 70 kg human male is 27 kg of urine and feces or about 38% of their total body weight.
Now THAT'S a buncha shit...

Your nose can run, but it can't hide.
