Sloths Report

 This term we are working on writing reports for writing. This is mine.Hope you like it 😀

Sloths


Sloths are one of the most interesting animals on the planet. They eat so many interesting foods. They live in parts of America. Furthermore, they also have many dangerous predators.

Sloths eat so many different things. A sloths diet consists of leaves from the cecropia tree, twigs and buds. They get their water from juicy plants. Their low metabolism means that they can survive on barely any food. It takes them a day to process food that would take other animals only hours to process. Did you know that they only come down their tree once a week to go to the bathroom, and when they poop they poop out about half their body weight. 

Sloths live in very interesting places. Sloths live in the treetops of trees in Central and South American tropical forests. To move from tree to  tree the swing from canopy vines. They spend most of their lives in the treetops napping and remaining hidden from their predators.

Sloths have many vairing predators. A sloth's main predators are jaguars and eagles. Their other predators include harpy eagles, ocelots and other big cats. They hide in their tree because they are the same color as the tree. Their slowness is not just being lazy, but it helps them survive because the predators don't see the tree rustling so as not to give away their hiding spot.

In conclusion sloths are a very fascinating animal that lives in ways that are different from other animals.
