The Rolling Rainforest includes both live animals and replicas painstakingly crafted by Chase Studio of Cedar Creek, MO. Every one of the 80 species found in this authentic replication of a neotropical rainforest was rendered in incredible detail by Chase's talented artists. The three-toed sloth, shown above, is of the "brown-throated" variety. Sloths tend to live alone, and generally do not make much noise - but they can emit a shrill whistle when they need to. They spend most of their time in the upper reaches of the forest canopy, eating a diet of leaves. back | next
