__**SLOTHS**__ The sloth is unusual creature. There two slightly different species there are the two toed sloth and the three toed sloth, there five species of sloths.The massive Ancient Sloth grew as big as an elephant.Not much is know about how many sloths there are in the world. The sloth is endanger from all their forest being cut down.

__**Appearance/Anatomy**__ The sloths faces have small ears,sad eyes,roundish head.The sloths body has stubby tails and long arm and shaggy fur.They grow between 600-800mm long.They related to armadillos and anteaters.Algae grow on their fur to let them blend in with there soundings.The two-toed sloth is bigger than the three toed sloth.Sloths weight up to 8kgs depending on species.

__**Diet**__ Sloths don't drink because they get most of they water from they plants.The sloth sucks ants and insect from their nest like a vacuum.They mainly eat leaves and fruit.

__**Habitat**__ The sloths live in tropical forests of central and South America where they are surrounded by trees.They are tree dwellers.

The sloths are in danger of losing their jungles are being cut down.Some subspecies are endangered.Scientists believe that the sloths move slow so they are less noticeable from predators such as hawks and feral cats.
 * __threats__**

Sloths spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping.The sloth ferociously bite,hiss,slash with their claws and shrieks loudly if a predator caught them.The two toed sloth spends most of they time hang upside down from a tree. They hop down from the tree once a week to go to the toilet.The three toed sloth spends most of sitting in the edge of the tree.The sloth is clumsy and useless on land.The sloth moves on land by digging its claws in to ground and dragging its self.They are very slow moving
 * __Behavior__**

Still not much is known about this creature that is been around for many years.Indeed the sloth is an unusual creature that has weird toilet problems to not drinking.Now they are endanger and may soon extinct because of their habitat being cut down mostly by farmers who clear the trees to have a wider area and the rest is probably going to be made in to towns and villages. .
