The most fascinating animal to me has always been the sloth. Yes, I actually find this very slow creature to be interesting; and no, I haven't just recently gained interest in the sloth, seeing how it has always been a favorite animal of mine, even before everyone started posting internet memes of it.
The sloth, first of all, is absolutely adorable. I mean, wouldn't you just be totally down to cuddle up with a sloth in Central America one day? They also have the cutest, most innocent-looking faces, and while its cuteness is a huge factor in why I like the sloth so much, there's definitely more to it.
They're so odd! There are multiple types of sloths around the world, some with two toes, some with three, and there used to be ground sloths, but now they're all extinct (I read that with a rhyming pattern...must be the poetry). They've also been around for a reallllllllllllllllly long time, I'm talking 60 million years.
By far, my favorite thing about the sloth is how darn slow it is. Its average speed is only 6.5 feet per minute! So, since Trevor Kennedy is 6 feet, 6 inches, it would take a sloth one whole minute to climb up Trevor. We should actually consider trying this??? Yes? Field trip to Central America? I see a worthy cause...
Anyway, I'm sure I've started to bore you all with my rambling on the sloth, so here are some pictures of sloths so you can love them (almost) as much as i do!
Just look at his/her facial expression! |
