The sloth is a mammal that lives in the jungle of Guyana (Bradypus tridactylus). It is 50 to 70 centimeters long and curved claws to hang on trees. Your metabolism is very slow and can only digest 0.2% to 13.4% of what fits in your stomach a day.

Another peculiarity of laziness is its skin. It can be said that it constitutes the entire ecosystem. In fact, it has unicellular algae (they improve their camouflage) from where insects, mites, sticks or butterflies without wings feed.

Jaguar and ozelote are enemies, but we must recognize that the worst enemy is the human being, since although protected they hunt him.
