HAIR OF THE sLoTH.


1t Ia Green In Color and For a Pc
culinr Reason.
1t is a very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair of
sloths. Apart from its extremel@ coarse
and brittle nature. the most striking
popularity of the outer hair OF the
sloth is its more Or less decidedly green
tinge. Now. green is u very rare color
among mammals. and there ought
therefore. to be some special reason for
its development in the sloth, and as n
matter of fact. the means by which
this coloration is produced is one of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom, so marvellous,
indeed, that 1t is at first almost impos-
sible to believe that it is true.
The object of this peculiar type of
coloration Is. of course. to assimilate
the animal to its lcafy surroundings
and thus to render it as inconspicuous
as possible. and when hanging In its
usual position from the underside of
bough its long, coarse and green
tinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguishable from the
punches of gray green lichens among
which 1t dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs of the al there are num-
Der of transverse cracks, and in these
cracks grows primitive type of plant
namely, one celled alga.
And for the benefit of nonbotanical
