You can hardly tell it from the surrounding moss and plants, and it is camouflaged from its enemies. The sloth lives in tropical forests in South and Central America. It also lives in Peru and Central Brazil. A sloth can only have one baby at a time. The baby has to stay on the mom's back until it is old enough to take care of itself.
Sloths give birth to their babies with their stomach facing up.
They eat animal matter like bird eggs, nestlings and a wide variety of insects, lizards and carrion. In the zoo, they eat carrots, yams, corn on the cob, spinach, bananas, seasonal fruits, omnivore biscuits, marmoset diet and monkey biscuits. In the wild they hang most of their lives with their faces turned up and back facing down. They spend most of their days sleeping. They eat sleep and mate and give birth upside down.
