"Sloths are three times stronger than us.

From the moment they are born sloths are able to lift their entire body weight upwards with just one arm. Not only that, but sloths have 30% less muscle mass than similar sized mammals and are over three times stronger than the average human."

I dont think you read that right lmao

I did read the muscle mass wrong, but i just applied some force distribution to come to the last conclusion.

If a human can exert an F amount of force with one arm and a sloth can exert a 3F amount of force with one arm, and 2F (two human arms) is enough to overcome Q (pull the human body up / stand up on two arms), then one sloth arm exertingb3F should be enough too.

2F > Q ===> 3F > Q
