Description | 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. | Description:Striped Skunks are famous for releasing a foul, strong smelling musk, secreted from the rear end whenever threatened. They are easily to recognize with all black fur that has one white stripe on its nape and a thin one running from forehead to snout. |
