2. But predators use camouflage too.
The striated frogfish (Antennarius striatus) walks the seafloor right up to its unsuspecting prey.
It has a prognathous mouth that launches an attack on prey in as fast as 6 milliseconds.

Today is the day for #InternationalSlothDay! I've drawn #SciArt of #sloths including giant browser Megatherium, giant digger Lestodon, freshwater swimmer Ahytherium, and tree climber Bradypus! More will be added through this thread... 
Also i add my other drawing for the sea #sloth, thalassocnus. This one was used for Palaeocast Art competition, but i didn't win anyway...
Here's my size comparison of the #sloths i've been drawing, sorry if the scaling is innacurate...
Now we go to my Deviantart links and other facts about these sloths!

The Pygmy three-toed sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus) is critically endangered, with 79 left in the wild in 2012.
These smaller #sloths (~50cm long) are found in Isla Escudo de Veraguas in Panama.
Other than being smaller, they generally resemble the brown-throated sloth above.
