What is the best topic sentence for the paragraph about sloths? Sloths have long claws that let them easily grip tree branches and hang upside down. In fact, sloths' claws make walking on the ground very difficult for them, and they're clumsy on land. Sloths can sleep upside-down for up to 18 hours at a time. Algae grows on sloths' fur, which camouflages the sloths and allows them to blend into the trees. Their diets include tree leaves, shoots and fruit.

Sloths are well-suited for their lives in the rainforest trees.
