Sloth

My audience may be thinking, given the title of this post, that I am going to talk about the sloth I feel in general. Au contraire! I want to share the joy that is the sloth!


These creatures are fascinating for many reasons but one reason is that they poop once a week! I highly recommend the David Attenborough series "the Life of Mammals." In that series, there was a sloth segment that showed David next to a sloth climbing down a tree...well, you can see for yourself below. The part to which I'm referring is at about 1 min 15 sec but the whole thing about the sloth is quite interesting.
