What we do know is, the moths benefit when the sloths leave their trees to poop. The more moths that make the sloth fur their home, the more the algae can grow, and the greener the sloth fur becomes.
Rebecca Cliffe (born May 15, 1990) is a British zoologist, award-winning conservationist, [2] and one of the leading experts on sloth biology and ecology. [3] [4] She is the Founder and executive director of The Sloth Conservation Foundation and author of the book Sloths: Life in the Slow Lane.
Two-toed sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down from trees. They cannot walk, so they pull hand-over-hand to move around, which is at an extremely slow rate. Almost all of their movement comes from this suspended upside down position, at a higher degree than even three-toed sloths.
Tree sloths: Medium-sized folivores specialized for life hanging upside-down in trees; Ground sloths: Medium to very large ground-living herbivores (and possibly omnivores) Aquatic sloths: Thalassocnus, a medium-sized herbivore, is the only known aquatic sloth
Sloths' fur is grown specifically for a job which is to grow algae. The algae grow within their hair shaft and benefits the creatures' camouflaging techniques. The hair grows in a special system of being parted along the stomach and flows from belly to back; this is useful for when sloths are hanging upside down and the rainwater can run off. [9]
