Three-Toed Sloth

Three-toed sloths are made for the trees, since they move so slowly a type of algae grows on their fur making them have a green tint which is great for camouflaging in the forest. They live in Central and South America. Three Toed Sloths have long claws excellent for gripping trees. They sleep in trees as well. There are four living species of Three Toed Sloths, Brown Throated Sloth the Maned Sloth, the Pale Throated Sloth, and the Pygmy Three toed Sloth. They descend from the trees once a week. Three Toed Sloths are surprisingly agile swimmers. Since they cant walk on all fours, they use their front legs to drag themselves across the forest floor.
