Description | Description:Aardvarks are nocturnal mammals who eat ants. The Aardvark's body is stout, with an arched back, and is covered in coarse hair. It is indigenous to sub-saharan Africa, and has an elongated nose which looks somewhat like the snout of a pig. | Description:Hoffman’s two-toed sloth lives in tropical forest trees of Nicaragua, Peru, Central Brazil, and northern South America. They spend their lives hanging upside down: eating, sleeping, mating, and even giving birth in an upside down position. Walking is not in their nature, so they only crawl when on ground. |
