Description | Description:The Egyptian Mongoose lives in hollow logs, burrows, and holes in the ground which are near a water source. They have grey fur with brown dots. They have a low, long body which can be mistaken for a reptile at a distance. | 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. |
