My creature is a Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth and in the future it will become a Pygmy Three-Toed Water Sloth, let me tell you how and why. Today this sloth lives on a small island off the coast of Panama. They spend almost all of their time in the trees and have adapted to have 3 long claws for better grip and green algae for camouflage, they are also able to turn their head 270° because predators could be above or below them. In the future due to climate change this island is likely to become completely underwater so the sloth will have to adapt to a more aquatic environment. I have predicted that the sloth will adapt to have webbed feet and stronger legs to swim faster. It will also develop a better digestive system to eat fish and a blueish coat to blend in.
