Two-Toed Sloths by Olivia Burdo https://padlet.com/25oburdo1_2/gk729xr5077m Two-Toed Sloths are capable of surviving in the wild because they have camouflage, their slow speed makes them hard to notice, and their claws. en-us 2019-03-20 14:32:59 UTC 2019-04-08 11:43:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Growing.png Sloths use camoflage 25oburdo1_2 https://padlet.com/25oburdo1_2/gk729xr5077m/wish/343352833 2019-03-20 14:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/25oburdo1_2/gk729xr5077m/wish/343352833 Sloths have camouflage because of their thick brownish fur. These physical traits of the sloth make them hard to notice in the wild.

(Pagano) 25oburdo1_2 https://padlet.com/25oburdo1_2/gk729xr5077m/wish/343397837 This is important because they don’t eat a lot so they don’t have to go down to the ground and that is a danger zone for them.
