| 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:Porcupines are the largest of all rodents,living in jungles of Africa, Europe, and Asia. They are coated with long poisonous spikes for defense. These spikes separate from the porcupine, painfully stick into the victim, and are difficult to remove. Porcupines are mostly grey and brown, but some are white in color. |
