This book can be used for school projects or to help you learn about sloths. In addition, it contains lots of information about the different species of sloth. These animals are among the smallest mammals on Earth!The most fascinating fact about sloths is that they are color-blind! This means that their eyesight is not that great. Instead, they rely on their sense of smell and their slow movement to navigate their environment. They are also extremely active at night and spend most of their time in the shade. They can turn their heads nearly 360 degrees and can even swim. A healthy forest is crucial to the survival of this animal, and the sloth population is growing by leaps and bounds.
