How are the three toed sloths endangered?

Answer 1

The "three toed sloth" is endangered because they have predators and dangers like deforestation and urbanisation threatening their lives. Though predation is a natural consequence but due to the clearing of its habitat which is the Amazonian forest, they will have no place to thrive and their species are in a danger of being wiped out.

Answer 2

1) It sleeps in the night to get energy..( not really..has diurnal and nocturnal tendencies

2)it cannot stand for long( not really helpfull adaptation)

3)Low metabolic rate allowing for a sedentary lifestyle.

3)Curved claws that allow for zero energy budget consumption during inverted

suspension.

4)Has ability to process nutrient poor leaves that would cause most other animals to stave. a sloth is a vertebrate.

Answer 3

Tree sloths have strong, three-inch claws that they use for gripping tree branches and trunks. They also have a very slow metabolism, so they can spend most of their time sleeping--the lack of movement helps protect them from predators. In addition, their fur is greyish or brown, which provides camouflage.

Answer 4

Sloths are so well adapted, that despite being slow, they have thrived in their habitat. They are built perfectly for life in the trees (arboreal) with adaptive traits such as arms that are longer than their legs and curved feet for grasping branches. They cannot walk, but are actually good swimmers when the rain forest floods.
