Best Answer

Yes.

The pelage(fur of entire body) of sloth's hosts a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria exhibiting a green tinge that helps it blend in with the environment. The "green" in the pelage is sometimes referred to as algae, however, debatable due to algae classified as a eukaryote("multi"-cell) and cyanobacteria as a prokaryote(single-cell) organism.
