The sloth is a very unusal animal compared to human  being because they are not on the grownd very often but they sometimes go on the grownd to change tree

The sloth habitat is mainly in a tree in the African jungle on the cliff . But they change trees to get more food .There mian food is leave and buds . The two toed sloths also eat twings,fruit,and small pray .Both the species of sloths teeth grow continuously .But the grinding of the food  keeps there teeth warn down .sloths dont drink but they get  water from juicy leaves and licking due drop

Sloths dont have much of an option when a predator comes because there main defance is caouflage  as there main protection .There other defence is long claws if they dont get up a tree in time because they walk very slow .there preditors are snakes,harpy(type of bird)other birds ,jaguars ands ocelots.

What  sloths do upside down is very hard for a human to do ,but for a sloths it's normal.What the sloth dose upside down eat,mate,give birth and sleep for around 15 hours
