hmm.       I think these "sloths" are kinda growing on me.    heh

They have a complete ecosystem, with moss and insects, living in the hair on their backs...they look green. That helps camouflage them from predators.

@JoyFilled Warrior   They also come in gray tones and interestingly enough,  I have read that they can appear to have 

a green cast from some of the plants they eat. This also serves as a camouflage while in the trees.

Just wondering..........how would you teach your young 'uns to eat your greens because it will camouflage you from the bad guys out there? 'Now eat your greens before you go out to play.'

ETA I mean, after all, they can't talk.
