The three sloth are vertebrates. The Three-Toed Sloth has one adaptation which is that it is so sedentary, or still and lazy, that an algae grows on its fur, making a camouflage for the sloth to hide itself with. Their hind legs are incredibly weak, but their front arms are so strong, that sloths pull themselves along the ground. This makes it clumsy on land, but a surprisingly great swimmer. They also have an incredibly strong grip provided by their claws, which helps them stay up in trees There main prey are: buds, leaves, fruit There main predators are: Eagles, snakes, and jaguars
