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.
Sloths move so slowly that ALGAE grows on their fur - and it can be used as camouflage and food. 1  Sloths move two metres per minute and sleep for up to 20 hours in trees. 2  This slow movement gives algae enough time to grow on the animalâs fur. 3  Instead of removing it, the algae helps the sloth camouflage in the jungle.
