7. Water Stress Responses
Sloths' responses to altered rainfall patterns and rising water stress provide insightful analysis of how tropical species can be affected by climate change. Though they are known for their moisture tolerance, sloths exhibit different physiological and behavioral reactions to different precipitation levels. Important information on wildlife adaptation to changing climate circumstances comes from scientists' observations of variations in their travel patterns, feeding behaviors, and habitat selection during times of extreme drought or rainfall.
