The sloth lives in the tropical rainforest. They are built perfectly for life in the trees with adaptive traits such as arms that are longer than their legs and curved feet for grasping branches. Climate change is significantly impacting the tropical rainforest by causing more frequent and severe droughts, increased temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and rising occurrences of wildfires. This is not good for the rainforest. The sloths will adapt by having less fur because it will be hot and the bugs will not be able to help them. They might also live underground and again because of climate change they will be too hot, so scientists expect them to dig holes and live underground. So this is what will happen to sloths in the future.
