Detailed explanation-1: -The abundance of trees and food make rainforests a great home for monkeys. Monkeys spend most of their time high up in the canopies of the trees where there is a lot of food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sloths-the sluggish tree-dwellers of Central and South America-spend their lives in the tropical rain forests. They move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day, munching on leaves, twigs and buds. Sloths have an exceptionally low metabolic rate and spend 15 to 20 hours per day sleeping.

Detailed explanation-3: -Living upside down The Linne’s two-toed sloth lives in the canopy layer of tropical forests, where they spend most of their lives hanging upside down from branches. They are native to most of northern Southern America, including Venezuela, Brazil and Peru.
