What is the reason why sloths are on the verge of extinction, and should humans take the blame?

Among the reasons for the extinction of sloths is the destruction of the ecological environment caused by human deforestation, the food of sloths decreases, and the number of sloths begins to decrease.

I think it's because they're too lazy, maybe they won't run when the predators arrive, and I think humans are still the main reason, so their habitat is reduced and they are not suitable for survival.

It is the pot of human beings, the living environment is wantonly destroyed by humans, trees are cut down, and their habitats are disturbed.

According to the Baibai Encyclopedia, it can be obtained in du

Here are a few pieces of information.

Sloths are the only zhi

A wild animal with plants growing on it.

The sense of smell is sensitive, and the visual and auditory senses are not well developed.

It is a strict arboreal and a simple herbivore.

First of all, the sloth's camouflage is quite good. There are plants on the body, and the sense of smell is sensitive, as long as you smell natural enemies, you will not move, and you will generally not be detected. And lifelong arboreal, vegetarian, can eat with your mouth open, small range of activity, low chance of being discovered.

Secondly, the natural enemies of sloths are wild beasts and birds of prey. Don't say if you can be found or not. That is, if you want to be able to go up the tree, you have to capture it after going up the tree, and there is no great practical significance in wasting energy, and it will not be an excellent choice for carnivores.

Here's why:

The sloth itself has a good protective color, the protective color on the sloth can protect it from being found by loose slag when it encounters natural enemies, and the sloth is also very good at using rolling green algae to grow on the body, as long as the sloth hides in the bushes, it is generally difficult to be found by natural enemies.

Due to the stiff fur of sloths, there is no problem in defending against ordinary carnivores. Although the sloth's claws are not very aggressive, because the sloth can fit very closely to the trunk of the tree, it is still difficult for the average carnivore to eat it alive.

Habitat:

Sloths have become highly specialized in arboreal life and have lost the ability to move on the ground. It usually hangs upside down on the branches, and its hair is fluffy and grows in a similar direction, and the hair is green with algae, so it is difficult to find in the forest. Three-toed sloths are widely distributed as far north as Honduras and south as northern Argentina, while two-toed sloths have a slightly narrower distribution as far north as Nicaragua and as far south as northern Brazil.

These strict herbivores mainly eat leaves, shoots, and fruits. It is rare to get off the ground, and crawl upwards with your body upright by clinging to a branch, or hang your body upside down, and move forward alternately on all fours. They can hang upside down for long periods of time, even when sleeping.

When on the ground, the limbs are diagonally outward and cannot support the body, so they have to crawl on the forelimbs and drag the body forward. In tropical basins, sloths swim to transfer during the rainy season when the ground floods.

Because this animal is so slow to move, it may be hunted by predators and become endangered.

Because the current environment is changing too fast, the evolution rate of sloths is somewhat unable to keep up, so it will suddenly be endangered.
