The climate of Kilimanjaro is influenced by the height of the mountain, which allows the simultaneous influence of the equatorial trade winds and the high altitude anti-trades, and the isolated position of the mountain.
Habitat: The three-toed sloth is an arboreal animal, inhabiting the tropical forests of Central and South America. Their algae-covered fur helps camouflage the sloth in its forest environment. Sloths spend nearly all of their time in trees, descending to the ground only once a week to defecate.
3 toed sloths are adapted to live in the canopy of the rainforest. They are a very slow moving creature but this does benefit them because it makes it harder for predators to see them. Infact, they move so slow that algae grows on the outside of their fur, assisting them in camouflaging with the trees. High up in trees, sloths hang upside down by their long claws. They spend almost their entire lives in trees, sleeping from anywhere between 15 - 20 hours a day.
