Monkey Fact Monday: Sloths

MoniMini here! I was just going through animals which live in the canopy level of the rainforests (like monkeys) when I got some BANANAMAZING facts on Sloths! Hope you like them!


Sloths move very slowly! They're so slow that some people call them lazy! xD They usually have grey or brown fur, it can look like their fur is green because they move so slowly that algae grows all over their furry coats!!!!

Sloths can stay in a single tree for years! That’s really BANANARIFFIC! They're built for living life upsidedown! They have long arms and long, strong claws that help them hang out in the trees.

The most amazing thing about sloths is that they sleep upside-down for up to 18 hours a day! Sloths are nocturnal animals (animals which are active mostly at night) and can even sleep curled up so they look like part of the tree they're sleeping in. This helps them hide from predators like jaguars!

That's it for this week's animals-that-live-near-Monkey Fact Monday post, monkeys!
