Island Wildlife! with SY

Armadillo-
Today I was walking out the door and saw  2 !!!!
FACTs- Armadillo is Spanish for little-armored thing. There are 20 different kinds.  The kind that we saw was a 9-banded armadillo. 


Sloth-We saw one from our window and another in a tree by the neighbors! There are both 2 and 3-toed sloths in Bocas. I think we saw the 3-toed sloths because 2 toed sloths are mostly nocturnal.  
FACTs- they live in the rainforest. Sloths are the worlds slowest animals. 


Walking stick-I saw one up close at the neighbors house.
FACTs-they eat at night so predators can't see them. They can shed a leg if an enemy grabs it.



Here is link to a site that names some of the mammals on Bocas.  I also used Pebblego.
