ʻO nā sloths nā mammals arboreal (noho lāʻau) e noho ana i nā ululāʻau o ʻAmelika Hema a me Central America.
Nā mea Sloth: pehea lākou e like ai
Heʻuʻuku nā kino o Sloths, palupalu me nā huelo pokole. ʻO nā poʻo liʻiliʻi a poepoe me nā pepeiao liʻiliʻi a me nā maka nui kokoke i ka waha e hoʻonani ʻia me nā "masks" ʻeleʻele. Hōʻike ka holoholona i ka minoʻaka mau ma muli o ke ʻano o ka waha, ʻaʻole no ka mea leʻaleʻa.
Loaʻa nā māiʻu lōʻihi loloa nā sloths. Ulu lākou i 8-10 knm i ka lōʻihi. Hoʻohana nā sloths i ko lākou mau māiʻu e piʻi i nā kumulāʻau a hopu i nā lālā. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā lālā a me nā māiʻu o ka sloth no ke kau ʻana a me ka piʻi ʻana, ʻaʻole no ka hele wāwae ʻana i ka honua. He paʻakikī loa ka Sloths i ka hele ʻana ma nā papa pālahalaha.
Kahi noho
ʻO ko Sloth lauoho loloa a shaggy kahi home o ka limu, nā mea kanu liʻiliʻi, a me nā puʻupuʻu e like me ka mu. ʻO kēia ma muli o ka hui pū ʻana o ka wikiwiki o ka molowa a me ke anuanu, mehana o ka nahele.
I kekahi manawa palu ka palau i ka limu a kanu i ka hulu i mea ʻai māmā!
He aha nā mea a nā sloth e ʻai ai
ʻO Sloths nā meaola e ʻai i nā lau, nā ʻōpuʻu, a me nā wana. Kūlike ko lākou kino a me ko lākou nohona me kā lākou papaʻai. Haʻahaʻa ka lau i ka ikehu a me nā meaʻai. He ʻōpū nui a paʻakikī nā Sloth i loaʻa i nā koʻohune e kōkua iā lākou e hoʻōla maikaʻi i nā greens.
Mālama ka malama i hoʻokahi mahina e ʻeli loa i ka meaʻai! E iho mai nā sloth mai nā kumulāʻau e mimi a lele hoʻi ma kahi o hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule. Aia ka ʻike o ka ʻōpū o ka sloth i ʻelua hapakolu o ke kaumaha o kou kino.
Ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o ka ikehu o nā lau, loaʻa i ka sloths kahi haʻahaʻa metabolism (ke ana e hoʻohana ai ka ikehu e ke kino).
Pehea ka wikiwiki (lohi) nā sloths
Hele mālie ʻo Sloths, e hoʻokele ana ma kahi o 1.8 - 2.4 m i kēlā me kēia minuke. ʻO ka hele wāwae o ke kanaka ma kahi o 39 mau manawa ka wikiwiki o ka sloth!
Holo mālie nā sloths i ulu ka limu (meaola mea kanu) ma ka huluhulu. He pōmaikaʻi maoli kēia no nā sloths no ka mea hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi kala ʻōmaʻomaʻo iki a kōkua iā lākou e hui pū me ko lākou wahi.
Noho ka Sloth i ka hapa nui o ko lākou ola i nā kumulāʻau, kahi e kau ai i luna i lalo. ʻAi, moe, ipo, a hānau hānau nā Sloths i nā lāʻau!
Ma muli o ke ʻano o kā lākou mau wāwae wāwae a me nā māiʻuʻu lōʻihi, ʻōwili, kau nā sloths me ka hoʻāʻo iki. ʻO ka lohi e hoʻolilo iā lākou i mau pahuhopu maikaʻi ʻole no ka poʻe hahai holoholona, no ka mea ʻoiai ke kī ʻia, noho mau nā sloth mai nā lālā.
ʻO ka sloth ka hapa nui i ka pō a hiamoe i ke ao.
