Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.

Doven = lazy, or more accurately, “action less”. Dyr = animal.

Portuguese: bicho preguica

Preguiça: to feel lazy, “bicho”: a little less formal way to say animal

Haha that’s cool, I wonder if there are any languages where the sloth isn’t named after their slow nature?
