  • awwwee!!!! <3

  • Funny video, shame the american ladies voice is such a monotone drone..

  • I read that the leaves they survive on have roughly the nutrient value of sawdust.

  • And I'm not joking about having zero fast twitch muscle. Even if there's a predator literally about to eat them, they are only capable of doubling their speed to around .15 mph. When you consider that the average human walks without effort at 3.5 mph, you get an idea how slow they are. Plus, such a sprint usually completely exhausts the sloth and requires a long period of rest to recover from.

  • @sterny00 Koalas and pandas have similar low-nutrient diets and resultantly low metabolism and low speed (koalas with eucalyptus and pandas with bamboo).

  • @sterny00 Everything about sloths is slow because they have adapted to eat and live in a certain type of tree with low-nutrient leaves. Earlier in evolution, they were ground dwellers but were driven into the available tall trees by predators and had to adapt to digest theeir leaves. This means energy sacrifices, including 4 stomachs, a 30 day digestion period, and no fast twitch muscle mass at all. The little they do have is dedicated to holding them in place rather than movement.

  • I FUCKING LOVE SLOTHS

  • @sterny00 thanks for answer :D sounds logical!

  • so cute!
