Description | Description:The Arctic Hare is a small rabbit like animal which is able to live in harsh environments. They are found in northern regions of the Arctic Circle, mainly in parts of Northern America, Europe and the North Pole. Their movement resembles that of a kangaroo, hopping off its back. Their thick coat changes color from white during winter to brownish-gray to gray-blue throughout summer. | 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. |
