RALPH WILSON/ Sun-Gazette Correspondent Chewy, a 20-pound, two-toed sloth hangs from a tree.

Chewy, a 20-pound, two-toed sloth visited Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland Saturday as a one-day attraction, coming from Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, where it has resided for the past 16 years.

A red kangaroo visited Reptiland in mid-January and a black-and-white ruffed lemur will visit March 11 under the partnership with Lake Tobias Wildlife Park.

Sloths, native to Central and South America “spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the treetops and seldom move,” according to the website for Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland. “Because the rainforest is so hot and humid, sloths will begin growing small plants and moss in their hair, giving them a green appearance. This also helps to camouflage them within their surroundings.”
