- description: We all know how stinky a wet dog can be, but a wet sloth would probably smell even worse! Sloth fur is very long, and provides a great home for different types of bacteria and mold. You might think having a coat full of microorganisms would be a bad thing, but it can actually help the sloth blend in with their rainforest home-- as the mold and bacteria grow in their fur, the sloths start to turn green, giving them some excellent camouflage as they slowly swing through the trees! Sloths are one of many types of animals that are endemic to the tropical forests of South America-- this means that they aren't found anywhere else in the world! Because of this, sloths are greatly impacted by the loss of habitat through deforestation. For more videos like this, visit http://www.earthrangers.com/video
