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.
Three-toed sloth varieties spend their lives in the canopies of the South and sometimes Central American tropical rain forests they call home. Their strong limbs and claws afford them the luxury of clutching to and hanging from tree limbs for days at a time. There, some sloths clock in 15 to 20 hours of sleep a day.
