greenish coloring

The greenish coloring on the sloth comes from the algae that derive from the trees. It is really a light brown or light black color. They have very sharp claws designed for climbing and hanging. They are about 18-23 inches tall, and weigh from 8 to10 pounds when fully mature. They have three claws on each of their feet that are from the three toes on them. They are able to turn their head up to 270 degrees due to an additional vertebrate in their neck.
