Sloth

[Sarah]

Cute:

Their movements in the trees and on the ground are very slow and deliberate, but they are capable of slashing rapidly with their claws in defense against predators. It has been suggested that their slow and deliberate style of moving is a defense against visually-orienting hawks and eagles


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All sloths have 3 toes on their feet, but two-toed sloths have only two claws on their hands. Their main use is to enable the animals to hang for almost all their lives, but they are also formidable weapons for defense.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sloths can turn their heads around 270 degrees.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The forearms of three-toed sloths are longer than the hind limbs. Fore and hind feet have three enlarged, hook-like claws. The claws are separate, but the digits to which they attach are syndactylous. Three-toed sloths have a short, rounded skull. The profile is somewhat flattened dorsoventrally. The zygomatic arch is incomplete. A large jugal is present, and at its termination it forks broadly into dorsal and ventral processes. A tympanic bulla is present. The mandible has a well developed coronoid process, and the condyloid process is elevated above the level of the toothrow.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a sloth is hungry, it can just eat the algae that grows in it's fur.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just because it's slow doesn't mean a sloth is harmless. When threatened, a sloth can make a lightning quick slash with its huge sharp claws and long limbs. It can also bite with its sharp teeth.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sloth can drink large amount of beer, and can be seen in trees close to 7\11's, depaneurs, or any local watering holes.

When i try to be annoying, i purposefully take years to do something small, like pick up a book and my mum screams, "Stop being a sloth sarah!"......these critters are great.

Sloths in their pyjamas! Sounds great. Though I can't imagine them doing much scoring, unless its winning points to loose.

When she puts on her veil you should shout..."Stop being a terrorist, Mum!"
