The present Three toed sloth has two ways of camouflaging . The first way is that the sloth grows algae which is green so it can hide in trees and other plants. The algae is created when insects die and decompose in the sloth's fur; they provide nutrients that encourage the growth of the algae. The second way is to move very slowly because their predators rely on sight and movement. So, sloths are unnoticed by blending in and moving slowly. In the future the sloth will need to be camouflaged with a different color like a dark grey to camouflage into the burned down trees and other plants. The sloth will develop this by the dust clouds, another thing is they need to learn how to adapt to the new life by relying on insects and small animals, also needing to learn how to dig underground to stay cool.
