Hola, por favor se debe añadir su spotting a mi grupo nuevo - Sloths! - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1284...
Wonderful Info Daniele!
Alonso, please can you paste the info about the algae (& the moth & Beetles!) in the description so that others are able to better appreciate this amazing creature & please do add this to the symbiotic relationships mission - here is the link http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7987...
@Daniele--wow, great information, thanks for sharing. Yes, the symbiotic relationship mission would be a good one. I was not only interested in reading about the algae and mold but also about the moth that lives on it. Very cool! That's why I love Project Noah, it not only give us beautiful photos but lots of educational info as well! Thanks a ton!
Hi Apple, the green in the sloth's fur are algae and mould, and are perfectly normal. You'll find a great explanation here:
