An example is that the white moths on a white background were chosen at a much lesser rate than newspaper moths. Three white moths and 11 newspaper moths in total (trial 1 & 2) were chosen.

inhabit these sloths include algae, moths, and many different types of fungi. Each species serves as a different benefit for the sloth. Living in the big, diverse jungle can be dangerous for the sloth. There are predators that the sloth has to watch out for and vitamins that the sloth needs to consume so it can be healthy. Luckily, one of the species living in the sloth fur can assist with this and in return find shelter in the fur. The algae, trichophilus, feeds on moth waste and acts as a…
