14 Surprising Connections Between Sloths and Climate Change: A Must-Read for Environmentalists

11. Behavioral Thermoregulation Changes

Recent studies of sloth thermoregulation behaviors expose complex reactions to changing environment variables. These adaptations include in changes in their daily activity patterns, basking behaviors, and usage of thermal refuges inside the forest canopy. Knowing these behavioral changes helps researchers create focused conservation plans and forecasts how other species might react to rising temperatures.
