It may take a whole day for a sloth to move from tree to tree. Some sloths may not leave their favorite trees. After all, their living environment is surrounded by the leaves they eat, and they have good camouflage to avoid natural enemies. There is really no need to act quickly. They depend on their long claws and hang upside down on the branches, and their furry bodies blend perfectly with the trees at the top of the tree.

Leaves feast
Sloths are herbivores and have huge and complicated stomachs to help them digest food. The two-toed sloth will move among trees in search of food, but the three-toed sloth is usually very picky and insists on staying in a tree.
Take it easy
The sloth can't win any races, but it is a professional climber. It has pads on its hands and feet to catch branches, and its long curved claws are like hooks. Some kinds of sloths are two-toed and some are three-toed, but all sloths can climb the vertical trunk.
Lazy moth
The sloth's fur is often green, which comes from the algae on the fur (the humid environment of the rainforest is suitable for algae growth). The fur of sloths is also the home of sloth moths (sloth moths only live in sloth bodies).
