Oh to be a sloth

Sloths.

What’s not to like?

They move only when necessary.

They take so long to climb a tree algae will start to grow on their fur.

They live their lives in perpetual slow motion, feeding on this leaf that bud and this shoot.

Of course they can move quickly but only when threatened.

Otherwise they stay put and don’t waste unnecessary energy.

Oh and they’re so darned cute.

Here is a video of orphaned baby sloths.

While it’s sad to know that their mums have been killed by either being run over or by being electrocuted by power lines, it’s very, very, very hard not to feel the world is a happier more wonderful place for having these sweeties to share this planet with. Awwwwwwwwww!

Charlie says: Yep, no point wasting energy when you can just sleep.

Have a restful Wednesday everyone!
