Super Sloths!!!

You may not like sloths

but I do. The kind of

sloth I researched was

the three toed sloth.

Sloths are very interest-

ing animals here is

why… first, sloths have

sharp claws. There

sharp claws help them

hang on to trees so

they don't fall. Next,

sloths only come down

to use the bathroom

every few days. Lastly,

sloths have hard lips to

bite leaves. Hope you

now think sloths are

interesting!!!
