Three-toed Sloths: Green Mammals

Three-toed sloths have a clever way of protecting themselves from nature's fiercest predators. Sloths have green algae growing on their brown fur, helping them blend in with the mossy bark of the trees they live in. This camouflage conceals them from their enemies. The three-toed sloths stay safe by hiding in plain sight! Packed with fascinating facts and photos that will test children's detective skills, this book will engage emergent readers as they learn how three-toed sloths are adapted for survival. A section of the book highlights other animals that are camouflaged to look like the trees in their environment.
