Three-toed sloths known as [Bradypus]

Three-toed sloths known as [Bradypus] reach a height of 50-75 cm, they have very short or no tail and long ends with large nails weighing from 4 to 7 kg. Their head is small and rounded, with short muzzle and fur. Its neck is extremely flexible: It can turn it up to 270 degrees without moving the rest of the body. They feed exclusively on leaves and live lonely, hidden in the forests of Honduras, Paraguay and northern Argentina. They spend most of their time hooked on tree branches of tropical forests and move from one branch to the other with the spine down. Their body is covered with fur, which looks greenish as it hosts small algae, and its temperature ranges from 20 to 32 degrees, depending on the exterior. Slumdogs are considered a symbol of laziness as they move very slowly. There are two genera Bradypus and Choloepus. The most common species are Bradypus tridaktylus or ah, because of his voice, and the Choloepus didaktylus, known as the Hunau.
