Word of the Day

Arboreal

It means living in trees! Many animals, like sloths and monkeys, have adapted perfectly to an arboreal life.

Did You Know?

• Sloths are surprisingly good swimmers! They can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes, which helps them cross rivers
• A sloth's fur is a tiny ecosystem! Algae grows on it, giving them camouflage and sometimes providing extra nutrients.
• Sloths only poop once a week! They climb down from the trees to do their business, making it a vulnerable time for them.
