The climate of Kilimanjaro is influenced by the height of the mountain, which allows the simultaneous influence of the equatorial trade winds and the high altitude anti-trades, and the isolated position of the mountain.
Habitat: The three-toed sloth is an arboreal animal, inhabiting the tropical forests of Central and South America. Their algae-covered fur helps camouflage the sloth in its forest environment. Sloths spend nearly all of their time in trees, descending to the ground only once a week to defecate.
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.
