do sloths have predators
A sloth's hair grows in the opposite direction, from its belly toward its back. That's because normal fur would fluff up, not lie flat, on an upside-down sloth. A sloth's smooth fur sheds water while it hangs upside down in the rainforest. Sloth fur also helps hide sloths from predators in the wild. That damp fur is a great place for moisture-loving algae (AL-jee) to grow. The algae turn the fur greenish. This makes a sloth blend in with the leaves around it.
