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.
In food abundant areas, there are 7 three toed sloths per hectare or 2.7 two toed sloths per hectare. The vital domain of a three toed sloth is 2 hectares, and 2.7 hectares for a two toed sloth. The territory is marked with the secretion of anal glands. Sloths inhabit forests up to 1,800 m (6,000 ft) in altitude.
