Why Are Sloths So Slow?

Sloths move so slowly that they are able to support entire ecosystems in their fur. Also, they only poop once a week.

3:04 and 3:13 Sloths are creepy when they move on the ground. They look like demented robots with a thin veil of defiled fur. Trying to pass themselves off as slow, cute, and harmless until they rip your throat out with those claws.

[@f..f3683]

Lol. But, actually, sloths are very gentle creatures. Some zoos have sloth cages that they let visitors enter, and sometimes even allow the visitors to pet the sloths, because the sloths don't mind at all.

Lmaoooo the way that sloth scratching at 3:32 and then the host proceeds to tell us that sloths have moths living on their fur.. poor lil sloth 😩

[@koala.justakoala4287]

They literally say “all coexisting nicely” which means the moths don’t hurt them

[@milkncookie]

Sloths are very slow because we named them Sloth. Road runners didn't exist until we created roads. Anteaters didn't eat ants until we started calling them that. Becareful what you call others, sometimes it sticks.

[@laurenmary9296]

That animation at the end of the video was just terrific.

100 years later, their predators learned how to catch them better. Then they evolve to aquatic sloths.

[@sayantanroy554]

sloths' movement are so unreal..they are like animatronic puppets of real world..

[@agerven]

Love your series, but now you've made me curious. Could one see Sloths and Koalas as independent parallel evoluations regarding their metabolism? Both have a rather energy conserving way of life, live in trees, eat leaves and are particularly picky on the types of leaves they eat.
