Some sloth facts:
n Sloths live in the rainforests of south and central America. They spend 90% of their life hanging upside down from tree branches by their hind legs.
n The sloth’s chief survival strategy is camouflage. It is so sedentary that green algae grows on its coat, helping it blend into the surrounding vegetation.
n Sloths sleep for 15 to 20 hours a day and even when awake spend much of their time immobile.
