The sloth lives in the lowland rainforest, their diet consists of leaves and twigs. Sloths can weigh 9-17 pounds, they spend their majority of their time up in a tree, only coming down once a week. The Sloths main predators are Jaguars, and Harpy Eagles. Sloths can also sleep up to 20 hours a day, and they are surprisingly good at swimming. Predators are the highest cause for sloths death, and that is because of the Sloths slow movement. So in the future Sloths will have to have the ability to run or walk to escape predators. But in order to walk they would have to change their curved claws to instead be paws.
