Sloths primarily live in Central and South America. They are native to the tropical rainforests of these regions and are known for their slow-moving lifestyle and unique adaptations to their environment.
Sloths are classified under the order Pilosa and the family Bradypodidae for Three-toed sloths, and Megalonychidae for Two-toed sloths. They are known for their slow movement and unique adaptations to life in trees.

No, sloths cannot fly. They are arboreal mammals that spend most of their time in trees and move slowly. They do not have the physical adaptations to fly.
Sloths do not shiver like many other mammals do to regulate their body temperature. Instead, they have a slow metabolism and rely on their warm environment to maintain their body heat. When temperatures drop, sloths may seek warmth by moving to sunnier spots or huddling together. Their unique adaptations allow them to survive in their tropical habitats without the need for shivering.

green alga grows on it and that makes it camouflage.
Sloths live in trees and spend most of their life asleep, but tend to venture when they can be bothered :)
Because the adaptations that get established are a consequence of the environment. Any other adaptations that "do not fit the environment" get discarded via natural selection.
Yes, sloths have evolved over millions of years. Fossil records show that ancient sloth species were larger and had different adaptations compared to modern sloths. This evolution allowed sloths to adapt to their specialized arboreal lifestyle.
The adaptations of a sloth are that it grows algae on its fur and the algae helps it blend in with treetops from predators. Sloths have a good sense of smell to find and detect predators. Sloths can open and close their nose to keep termites from coming up their nose.
It depends...
