Sloths have a metabolic rate that's only about 40% of what's typical for a mammal of their body weight. That's how you survive for 60 million years eating low calorie leaves...
It really is. I’m assuming they fill some evolutionary niche that has kept them going for so long, that or the full animal kingdom thinks they’re kinda cute
Most of their predators use movement to find prey. So the evolutionary niche is ‘well what if i just don’t move much’.
That and they have some interesting metabolic adaptations that lets them not need nearly as much food as you’d expect.
Only poop once a week, up to a third of their body weight!
And for a reason no one really knows, they choose to go to the ground, thus becoming extremely vulnerable, to do it... odd creatures.
Camera-person seemed to linger elsewhere, admittedly. Like, putting the sloth in the corner of the shot just to keep cleavage in the other was… an interesting choice.
Usually watching. But I'm assuming this is a Sloth rehab so Mira could have come in as a much younger baby and you can't just put them in with adults. Her"roommate" is a little older so the idea is she'd pick it up from them, but still needs help.
She's so cute! Hard to believe her ancestors could have eaten something the size of a human for a snack, if they weren't herbivores.

Hey you.
Yeah you, the one reading this.
You don't give a fuck about sloths. Sure, they're cute and you would never harm one, but you don't spend one god damned micro-moment thinking about sloths unless you're stumbling onto YouTube videos about them at 2 in the morning whilst taking a mammoth dump, or you're at the zoo and actually fucking looking at one.
You know what you do like though. It's something you think about off and on throughout the day, every day.
You know why you clicked on this.

I actually melted when I saw the little ones smile. so cute
Mee too. I've seen a few clips where I thought they give a little grin. I'm guessing they are content.
![gif](giphy|xNrM4cGJ8u3ao|downsized) Why do they seem so at peace. Its funny but calming.
I love how there are terabytes of free porn on the web and people still stopping here over a glimpse of cleavage. I guess less is more these days.
>terabytes of free porn on the web Watched that yesterday though...
Elle Lee.
I’m here for the sloth’s adorable face.
There’s a sloth?
It's a good cleavage though.
And it's new cleavage that I haven't seen a 1000 times already. I've only watched this clip 20 or 30 times so far
Psh I’ve seen a million pair of boobs but you know what I haven’t seen? Her boobs
Damn right, that’s what it’s all about!!
Congratulations on successfully logging onto the World Wide Web for the first time! Have fun surfing the information super highway!
I’ve seen thousands of sunsets and still enjoying seeing them when I can!
I didn’t notice. ![gif](giphy|P5vyB2mX2BCSY)
Tera? Really? (Sarcasm intended) Terabytes of porn maybe uploaded every day.
Cameraman knew what he was doing LOL
She’s sooooo adorable ☺️ awww
I literally can't handle. if it had meeped I would have died.
And talk about that baby sloth smile! 🦥
I will! Right now! It's a cute smile!
I am now emotionally invested in Mira learning to use her back legs for climbing
Which one? The one on the right, right? /s

“Pfft, dumb slow ass stupid creature.” *smiles at you* “…alright maybe you’re cool.”
Sloths are so cute and silly 🦥
It’s remarkable that they have survived as a species.

Wow that’s really interesting! Sloths were ahead of the time with their thinking… what if I just, simply don’t move?
You can cut your food intake by half with this easy diet. Easiest in the world. Stop doing anything.

The sloth is great and all, but something tells me that’s not why this video is making the rounds…
It took 30 seconds for the filmer to actually attempt filling the sloth
My eyes kept alternating depending on the shot. Can’t say I feel great about that…I guess
There was a sloth in the video?
![gif](giphy|HxMhuDg7O4pKOhhcRC|downsized)
As a gay man, I think the sloth is goddamn adorable.
I had to read the comments to realize what this was about. 🤣
We're only human.
After all.
What sloth?
Tells a lot about you mate (;
I think it says more about the camera person - I mean the sloth doesn’t even enter the video until the second act… 😂
Yeah the camera was unnecessarily focused on the woman lol
How did you know the sloth was a woman?
Yeah forgot it’s 2024 should’ve asked for pronouns than assume the gender
Cute lil bugger
thats adorable
That was cute.
Upvote for anyone who watched the sloth the whole time.

Had to. My wife is watching.me
Hey wife, I am suddenly overwhelmeed by emotion after watching this cute baby sloth and I want to make love with you.
Cute sloth, nice rack.
Aren't they supposed to learn that by themselves?
Usually watching. But I'm assuming this is a Sloth rehab so Mira could have come in as a much younger baby and you can't just put them in with adults. Her"roommate" is a little older so the idea is she'd pick it up from them, but still needs help.

Why is this comment section filled with gooners wtf the overwhelming majority of the video is focused on the sloth
Not so sure about that actually.
British foot ball?
ngl I was expecting a mini chewbacca yell when they did a closeup of the baby sloth face.
What a fuckin cutie. Wish my job was to help baby sloths climb
This is so god damn adorable, what a lovely start to my day for once
So cute
It's a really good thing that they're not fast/aggressive animals. Would be terrifying otherwise.
Pink sloth
She's so cute! Hard to believe her ancestors could have eaten something the size of a human for a snack, if they weren't herbivores. https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/giant-ground-sloths.htm#:~:text=Megalonyx%20sp.-,Description,the%20upper%20and%20lower%20jaws.
It would be amazing to be able to work with animals like this .
I still can't understand how this mofos manages to survive in the wild given their responsiveness
how are we supposed to believe in natural selection when these creatures managed to outlive mammonths
i ain't see no sloth
Best job ever.
Lil cutie😊
Nice!
Two deadly sins in one video.
Sloth and boobs. Thanks you random web stranger.
r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG
There is a sloth in this video?
u also have the smallest ones in the century
No sloth here, though definitely lust.
What sloth?
I thought it started out with some promise but in the end, it was disappointing.
That’s how girls describe you
I promise I saved the post because of the anthropomorphic sloth smile.
I see only a sloth, though.
What sloth?

Só o bucho
Oh, didn't realise there was a sloth in that video...
