The sloth is known to live on trees in the tropical rainforest. One picture shows the sloth happy in its environment hanging from a tree branch that is filled with leaves. In the other picture, you can see another sloth holding on to the same tree just in the future. In this image, you can see the fire's going up the tree and burning it down and the surrounding area. Sloths are slow creatures that sleep 15-20 hours a day and they only move about 120 feet (humans walk 30 times more than the sloth on an average day). When forest fires occur due to climate change, fires occur more frequently. When they begin to happen more frequently, animals such as the sloth,won't be able to move from their habitat fast enough. Sloths are already an endangered species, and climate change, unfortunately, doesn't help this major problem.
