Sloths are slow mammals that live in parts where there is lots of vegitation.They live in Nicarugua,parts in Central America,Colombia,Ecuador,Bolvia and French Guiana.They weight between 9-17lb and their size is 2.5ft.Sloths have long limbs,and long curved nails to cling on trees tightly.They also grow algae on their fur which protects them from diseases like malaria,Chagas disease, and some cancers.It also lets them camouflage within the leaves to protect themselves from animals that eat them. So if the environment changed into a swamp,they will grow more algae on their body so they can float in water and so they camouflage in water and on land.They'll become smaller and weight lighter,have larger and better eyes, and move quickly if they aren't on a tree.
