Explanation

The correct answer is "It lives in trees". The term "arboreal" refers to animals that live or spend a significant amount of time in trees. The pygmy three-toed sloth is known for its ability to live exclusively in the mangrove trees of Isla Escudo de Veraguas, off the coast of Panama. This adaptation allows them to avoid predators and find their primary food source, which is leaves. Being arboreal is a key characteristic of the pygmy three-toed sloth's habitat and lifestyle.
