In tandem with my second-to-last post you should make a mental note that sloths are fucking awesome and one of my favorite animals. I'm going to develop a new section of this blog (along with my from the lab bench segments and uncommon quarks) devoted to unparalleled badassery of the animal kingdom. I'm on a little Life of Pi high. Let the term "sloth sanctuary" resonate on your tongue for a sec because it's a complete redundancy (see video below)!
A sloth's entire life is a sanctuary until he descends downward from his tree to take his weekly dump. True fact, thanks to wiki, a sloth poops once a week into the same handcrafted dirt hole. This dump-dive is when the sloth is at his most vulnerable. How vulnerable do YOU feel when you poo? Yeah...the similarities between humans and our primal ancestors run deep. If you don't believe me, let my man Attenborough tell you. BOO!
Some link love for my lackadaisical lifemates? No prob.
Three-toed sloth love at National Geographic.
Semi-funny SNL digital short honoring sloths.
Sloths.org is a site of sloth photography (yeah, this exists).
Lastly and most importantly The Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica!
I'll be shocked if someone reads this
