    Apparently, it’s doing really well now.

    And also they’re called “lazy bears” in Ecuador.

      “Faultier” in german as well, “faul” = lazy and “tier” = animal

        Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.

        Doven = lazy, or more accurately, “action less”. Dyr = animal.

          Portuguese: bicho preguica

          Preguiça: to feel lazy, “bicho”: a little less formal way to say animal

      Haha that’s cool, I wonder if there are any languages where the sloth isn’t named after their slow nature?

    Aww. He looks suspiciously calm. Like as soon as the officer puts him somewhere safe he’s going to walk back into the danger.

    Alright, we’ll give you really cool claws, but the trade-off is that you’ll move with the speed of darkness.

      Speed of darkness

      Isn’t that basically exactly the same as the speed of light? 🤨

        Hehe, probably. It’s just something I like to say, with the implication being that if the speed of light is fast, then the speed of darkness must be slow. It stands to reason, right?

        Actually since darkness contains no information darkness can move at any speed

    Am I crazy or does that 2-toed sloth have 4 digits on its left hand?

    Edit: my leading theory is its back left leg is next to its left foreleg. So we’re seeing both finger and toenails.

      Thesloth has both its left limbs right next to each other. In the first photo you can see both limbs more clearly but you can make out a small gap between them in the second photo too.

      I noticed that, suspected ai, but I think I agree with your theory, especially considering the top photo shows them together
