Amazon Sloth

The sloth, native to the Amazon rainforest, has evolved to thrive in its shaded environment. With a low metabolic rate, it conserves energy by spending most of its time hanging from trees, where the dense canopy provides cool shelter. Its diet consists mainly of leaves, which are low in nutrients, so it moves slowly to digest its food efficiently. The sloth's long claws help it cling to branches for hours at a time, avoiding predators like eagles. Its greenish fur blends with the foliage, offering camouflage, further enhancing its ability to evade potential threats in the jungle.
