How would you describe the sloth's habitat?

Sloths primarily inhabit tropical rainforests in Central and South America, where they spend the majority of their time in trees. They are well adapted to life in the canopy, moving slowly and feeding on leaves, shoots, and fruits found in their arboreal habitat. Sloths are rarely found on the ground, as they are vulnerable to predators and lacking in mobility.

Sloths hang upside down because their physiology and anatomy make it easier for them to move and maintain stability in that position. Their long limbs and claws are adapted for hanging in trees, allowing them to conserve energy and avoid predators while feeding on leaves and sleeping. Hanging upside down also helps sloths keep their internal organs from compressing when they are in a resting state.

Describe the leaves of trees that in the taiga?

The taiga, or boreal forest, is given to high seasonality with a long season during which temperatures are below the freezing point of water. As such, trees must be conifers, with very limited leaves (needles) adapted to the cold, or be deciduous trees that are well adapted to the stress involved in losing its leaves every year. For instance, I live in the central region of Alaska. We have deciduous trees and conifers. The farther north you go though, the fewer deciduous trees there are.
