Best Answer
  • Ears
  • Small external ears, close to the head, imbedded in fur. There Hearing is poor.
  • Eyes
  • Eyes very mobile - can be partly retracted when eyelids are closed
  • Distribution of photoreceptors indicates adaptation to night vision
  • No ciliary muscles means near-vision is poor - most are myopic. Rely on other senses to obtain food and make contact with other sloths.
  • Convex cornea and thick lens means poor discrimination - Rely little on vision to carry out normal patterns of behavior (Mendel)
  • Blink frequently and slowly - often one eye at a time
  • Smell
  • Olfactory bulbs extremely well-developed
