	Sloths in Da House
		The 3 species of three-toed sloths are the true three-toed sloth, the brown-throated three-toed sloth, and the maned sloth, which happens to be the rarest of all 5 species.
		Sloths are actually relatives of the armadillo and the anteater, and averages about 2 feet in length with no external ears and no tail.
		Sloths stay within the home range boundaries of where it's born its entire life, which may be as long as 30-40 years.

	Sloth
		Sloths are medium-sized South American mammals belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Xenarthra.
		Even so, leaves provide little energy, and sloths deal with this by a range of economy measures: they have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 degrees), and still lower temperatures when resting.
		Infant sloths normally cling to their mother's fur; those that fall off die in some cases, because the mothers sometimes prove unwilling to leave the safety of the tree to retrieve them.

		Their outer fur coat is usually a thick brown, but occasionally wild sloths appear to have a green tinge to their fur because of the presence of these bacteria.
		Sloths have a very low metabolism and a low body temperature so their food and water needs are minimal.
		The three-toed sloth is armed with long, compressed, arched, hollowed claws, of which the middle claw is the largest. Bradypus tridactylus grows to a length of between 1.5 and 2.5 ft. The limbs are long and weak, with anterior extremities that are nearly double the length of the posterior.

		Sloths can rotate their heads nearly 90 degrees, and their mouths are shaped so they look like they are always smiling.

	Amazon Animals mammals - sloth natural history
		Although the sloth is a vegetarian, its teeth are poorly adapted to the task, being peg-like stumps.
		Sloths usually feed high in the canopy so stands of cercropia, which is relative low-growing, are ideal to spot these creatures.
		Sloths are the most abundant large mammal in the canopy, comprising up to a third of the biomass.

		Long-limbed and clawed creatures, sloths are camouflaged by the blue-green and green single-cell algae which grow on microscopic grooves and notches on its fur.
		They descend once a week or so to defecate, carefully digging a hole with their stubby tails and burying their feces; one explanation for their descent, which exposes them to predators, is that the decomposition of their feces at the tree's base might provide them with a higher quality food supply.
		As sloths generally feed on only 15 to 40 trees in the period of a few months and have a single tree they return to frequently, this seems to be an intelligent investment.

	Sloth
		Often known as the laziest animals of Amazonia, the brown-throated three-toed sloth is a mammal that lives in the lower canopy of the rainforest, active there both night and day.
		Sloths can weigh between sixty and ninety pounds, and about two feet in length and one in height.
		Since sloths move so slowly, green algae grows on their fur, acting as camouflage against harpy eagles and other predators.

		Sloths are perhaps the most reptile-like mammals in their thermoregulatory behavior: they depend greatly (though not exclusively like reptiles) on basking in the sun to raise their body temperature.
		Mortality rates can be high for sloths during their first of life, but once passed this vulnerable stage they can live to be 20 to 30 years in the wild.
		Another behavioral curiosity of sloths is their habit of descending from the forest canopy once a week to defecate.

	Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth FINAL
		The slothÕs lack of ability to move on the ground is due not only to its irregular feet that have curved claws for grabbing but also the lack of muscles required to erect itself on all fours.
		The sloth must seek the shade of the trees when the heat from the sun is too great and rely on the fact that the tropics will remain warm year round so they will not have to suffer the cold (Chan 1999 and Goffart 1995).
		The plant and sloth have a symbiotic relationship that involves the plant gaining shelter and the sunlight in a forest that is normally kept dark by the vast canopies.

	Three-toed sloth Information
		Both types of sloth tend to occupy the same forests: in most areas, a particular single species of three-toed sloth and a single species of the larger two-toed type will jointly predominate.
		The three-toed sloth is unlike other mammals because it is incapable of keeping its body temperature constant, much like a snake or any reptile.
		This is because a female sloth will leave her tree after giving birth to its offspring, giving her tree to her offspring.

	Brown Throated three-toed sloth
		Aside from the fact that the two-toed sloth has two claws on its front limbs and the three-toed sloth has three, differences can be found in the number of vertebrae, their behavior, and their habits (Pocock 1924; Krumbiegel 1941).
		The two-toed sloth, a close relative of the three-toed sloth is identified as part of the family Megalonychidae, which recognizes two species Cholepus hoffmanni (Peters 1859), and Choloepus didactylus (Linne 1758).
		Three ancestral ground sloth families are said to have once existed; Megatheriidae the South American giant ground sloth whose ancestors were arboreal, and the Megalonychidae and Mylondontidae which were always terrestrial ground sloths.

		The sloth is the slowest mammal on earth (the two-toed sloth is faster moving and feistier than its three-toed cousin) with a low body temperature and a slow metabolism that reduces their need for food and water.
		Three-toed sloths are arboreal herbivores; they live in the trees and eat leaves(mainly the leaves of the cecropia tree), buds, and fruit.
		The fur of the sloth is also unusual; it is long and coarse, brown or gray in color, and grows in the opposite direction of the fur of other mammals.

	THREE TOED SLOTH
		Sloths are seen more often in cecropias because of the tree's open growth and because cecropias grow along roads, trails, and clearings.
		A solitary creature, the sloth has the surprising habit of descending to the ground about once a week to defecate at the base of a tree it feeds in.
		If the young sloth can survive the separation stage (mortality of young sloths is high), it can live to be 20 to 50 years old.

		Brown-throated Three-toed Sloths are grayish brown with a red-brown throat and chest and a dark brown-capped white forehead and trailing, dark brown eye-stripes.
		Slow-moving, arboreal Brown-throated Three-toed Sloths are ungainly on the ground and at great risk from predators there, so they also need dense forests, especially those with lianas and vines that allow them to directly and safely travel from tree to tree.
