The most adorable lazy creatures on Earth Bashny.Net

The majority of inhabitants of Northern countries know the sloth only in the cartoon about the adventures of animals in the prehistoric era. The South Americans are familiar with this beast, much better: it can be found in the Northern part of the continent, such as in hot tropical forests of Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Costa Rica and Panama.





Sloths are attracted to dark sparsely populated thicket, where they were guaranteed no one would bother. They are nocturnal animals and day and prefer to relax in the tree crown. At dusk, the animal begins to scramble along the branches in search of tasty leaves. The tree sloth was his home. But few people know that sloths are also good swimmers: they are very skilled at moving in rivers and lakes, raising its head high above the water.





Sloth prefers the quiet, unhurried movement from branch to branch and hours of sleep. The only thing that can "confuse" the animal, the rain from him he tries to hide in wide crowns of trees. Predators are not afraid of him: the coat of the sloth enables it to blend in with the foliage and go unnoticed. However, the claws of the creature look very impressive. Another feature: the sloth never defecate on trees, where they live and eat. For these purposes they descend to the ground, even though I do it infrequently because of the slow digestion.





The main danger for the sloth today is destruction of the rain forests. If the tree on which lives a creature, even just to cut, the animal might die. Cute animals often take in the house as Pets and forced to work as a assistant photographer. Such a fate unenviable, because they pulled out of their usual habitat. Scientists are taking measures for the rehabilitation of sloths. In their habitats created reserves, aimed at rescuing and rehabilitation of animals with subsequent return to their natural environment. Our project is about this.published
