Poison Dart Sloth

Poison dart sloths are a group of sloths native to the South American rainforests. They are colorful, but as an effect so to keep predators away from them, they eat the poisonous plants that are digestible to the sloths, making them deadly to the predators that eat them. Fortunately, the captive dart sloths aren't poisonous as they feed on mulberry leaves, ficus leaves, and other non-poisonous leaves, so they are safe to touch, unlike the wild ones in their native ranges. Some species are named after Sesame Street characters due to their coloration of their fur and they make really great pets, unlike most other sloths, requiring less food and water and is even mostly diurnal compared to most other tree sloths. They are highly protected in their native range and is against the law to take them from the wild for pet trade and such, but is still legal to breed them from captivity for as zoo animals and as pets across North America.
