| 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:Pygmy Hippopotamus is the mini version of the common or river hippo. It has a rounder and narrower head, a greenish-black, smooth layer of skin that secretes a pink fluid (blood sweat), which gives it a shiny look. It also acts like a sunscreen to prevent dehydration. |
