No, sloths are South American animals, although Australia has an animal that is similar to the sloth, and fills a similar ecological niche - the cuscus.

These are very cute marsupials that live in the tropical rainforests of far north Queensland and New Guinea. They are related to possums, but are much cuter.

No, they are native to South American countries such as Ecuador. The types of animals that live in Australia are: Kangaroos, Wallabies, Koalas, Crocodiles, etc. No sloths.

No..only South America.
Australia does not have the right climent and it's way too dry to accomodate their needs.
