Predators of sloths

 Sloths are often hunted by predators such as harpy eagles,ocelots and jaguars,who rely mainly on movement to track their prey.So ,the algae-covered fur and motionless hanging help sloths blend with their surroundings,making it almost impossible to detect them in the wild.

         Sloths have evolved their stealthy habits to remain hidden from their main predators jaguars and harpy eagles,who rely on their sense of sight to find them.If discovered,the sloth's remarkable grip strength allows them to survive an attack by avoiding being pulled from the trees by these powerful predators.
