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.
The sloth family divides into the three-toed species and the two-toed species. All sloths have three toes on their hind feet, but the two types of sloths take their name from the number of toes on their front feet. Sloths are arboreal, with their natural habitat always being a tree of some sort in a rainforest setting.
