Sloths spend nearly all of their life in the tree tops, where they hide from predators. Some of their predators, like jaguar and ocelots, don't hunt in the treetops. The sloth can't effectively defend itself against predators, and some, such as Harpes Eagles, do hunt in the canopy.
claws and poison
Sloths live high in the trees and they stay on branches where most predators can't follow them.
The sloths natural predators are the jaquar, the harpy eagle and humans.
Harpey Eagles (in the rainforest).
No fast predators that sloth camo. can't fool so sloths which are slower with slower metabolic rates are better off. This is why sloths are so slow.
hide
camouflage in the trees
claws and poison
Sloths have a very unique way of protecting themselves. Firstly, their black, grey fur blends in with the rainfoest, and secondly,....... They move so slowly that predetors can't see that they're there!:)
they literally don't. The only thing that saves them from predators is that they stay in trees for the most of there lives. To slow and weak to defend them selves.
sloths predators are snakes and bears
They had size advantage, the biggest species of them is megatherium which was about the size of a modern elephant. Those sloths had giant claws.
Sloths generally don't need to do much to protect themselves against predators because they tend to blend in and go unnoticed in their habitat. However, jaguars, eagles, and human poachers do pose some threat.
it is a hawk
Sloths live high in the trees and they stay on branches where most predators can't follow them.
The sloth's predators are mainly jaguars.
Um yes because theyre sloths and theyre slow so they need something from predators
