Did you know? Linnaeus''s two-toed sloth is known to be one of the slowest animals in the world and the greatest master of camouflage. In hiding, a special algae species helps it, as it gives a slightly yellow colour to the sloth''s coat during the dry period, and a greenish colour during the wet period.
Watch it! Sloth has huge lunar nails, but They are used rarely for protection. It hangs them more in tree branches, so it can easily get about hanging. Due to their huge nails They are able to hang on branches for hours without moving.
Habitat: It lives in lowlander and up-lander tropical forests
Spread: It lives in the wild only in Mongolia.
