The sloth lives its whole life in the rainforest canopy, moving so slowly that green algae grows in its fur and gives it natural camouflage. It is fully arboreal, hanging from branches with long, curved claws even while it sleeps. A very slow metabolism means this herbivore digests a single meal of leaves over many days. These eleven words describe how the sloth hangs, hides, and survives high in the trees.
