Why are sloths so slow? - Kenny Coogan

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/less...
Sloths spend most of their time eating, resting, or sleeping; in fact, they descend from their treetops canopies just once a week, for a bathroom break. How are these creatures so low energy? Kenny Coogan describes the physical and behavioral adaptations that allow sloths to be so slow.
Lesson by Kenny Coogan, animation by Anton Bogaty.

"they compensate by not moving very much, they spend the majority of their time eating, resting or sleeping and descend from the canopy once per week for a bathroom break"- accurate description of teens in summer break

[@fandyus4125]

Teens like me.*

[@calebtaylor4153]

BOOOOOOOOOOOI u so stupid. That is not an accurate description at all, or at least should not be. Did you know there wasn't even a word such as teen in the 19th century? There was only children and adult. The age of teenagers was first planted because of labor laws; there were ADULTS who were not allowed to work. Many teens are thought of as lazy, immature, but why won't they? Teens were always working well before the 19th century, but now do not. Why? because they are not allowed too. My cousin started a non-for profit organization that donates money to kids with cancer, and HE WAS ONLY 15. My cousin got onto the Boston Whitecaps at age 17, and is slowly moving up the ranks. How dare you suggest that teens are such lazy things. If you want more info on what teens are doing, get this book, "Do Hard Things" by Alex and Brett Harris, who i believe were teens when they wrote the book. It is a phenomenal book that can change your life and view about teens.

I recently did research on animal habitats being destroyed. One of the things I read about is that forests are being cut down, which means that sloths have no where to hide , rest, eat, and live. I saw this one article about how a sloth was wondering around on the streets because it’s home was destroyed. And while that sloth was crossing a road, it got ran over by a car. Sloths are slow and meant to live in trees with little movements. But now they can’t even live in peace. There’s only 6 species of them left. I almost cried when I saw that article because sloths are just like me. ( I might have gotten facts wrong but you get my point. Also my grammar is not the best because I’m not very good at English. Forgive me.)

Chumamabangedchupapa I’m sorry maybe they should make some sort of sloth bridge. I heard that power lines are shocking them and they get burns and sometimes die from it.

[@weezact7]

@@theresahall6197 Well, what would be the MOST help would be to curb the deforestation. Things like a sloth bridge are a nice idea (and certainly easier to implement), but ultimately, it only treats a symptom. It does nothing to cure the disease, so to speak. Loss of habitat due to pollution, deforestation, urban sprawl (and probably other reasons as well, those are just the ones I can think of off-hand) is probably the biggest threat to animal species today.

[@azuregriffin1116]

Lack of resources as of now except a twice weekly German Class an hour a piece, plus another hour's homework (at our school it's called home LEARNING because "it shouldn't be seen as a task but an opportunity to expand your knowledge"). German is fluent Language no 1 I wanna learn, next is Japanese because it's supposed to be among the most difficult to learn and (a more recently realised advantage believe it or not) I can watch action anime without missing shit because I was reading the subs, the final reason I picked it is because if the language is so different with words that english lacks it'll expand my understanding of things. 14 also by the way.

[@abhishajoshi2308]

This animation requires a separate award for this imagination... and Ted Ed has always been like marshmallow candies to the brain ...

[@jollow250]

There's a sloth Oh no You better run

[@lightsamus92]

jollow250 *you better walk

[@jollow250]

But what if it catches up to you

[@lightsamus92]

jollow250 then, walk a little faster

[@jollow250]

On it

[@madcat789]

Calling them slow is offensive. They prefer the term Running-Impaired.

[@chetnachauhan783]

Lol!! Nice one...

[@Fiqih]

Offended sloth

[@cestchristanie]

madcat789 stop making fun of people's disabilities and their sensitivities

[@Cgreen15Abram]

This sounds like me on the weekend.

[@jingqiao661]

A sloth will have crossed a road in the time it took you to finish this video :D

[@yehudamosheftaya9142]

Shoutout to sloths for being lazy and proud

[@girlsloth4033]

Dat Boi Kermit Thank you.

[@paramesravichandran1360]

"Slots may not be giant anymore, but that doesn't make them any less remarkable"💫 Loved this statement!

[@randomutuber7539]

I never thought sloths were this amazing...This was a very interesting video for me..

[@yosyp5905]

Nice, a video about me in my P.E. lesson.

[@losvering]

Yosyp good one 😂😂

[@zainabelmadhoni6856]

The art of these videos is amazing. Who is the artist?

[@TheTwang56]

the guy who wrote this is actually my science teacher :/

[@nobody6317]

I don believe u

[@Raphoovvv]

I doubt Kenny Coogan is your science teacher... As he's not a science teacher. Check the credits next time buddy

[@melmelasmr]

RAPHOOover9000 he actually was my 7th grade science teacher as well 😂 he was the one who told us to watch this video. He left the school tho so idk if he's still a teacher but I can assure you he was a teacher.

[@Raphoovvv]

Melanie highly doubt it but okay

[@DevilChicken2k]

This guy is now my agricultural teacher

[@SirBurrito]

Sloths are literally the BEST animals in the world. I have loved them to death since I was 8. My room is full of sloth stuffed animals and merchandise. LIKE IF YOU AGREE THEY ARE THE BEST ANIMALS EVER

[@lexismendez8598]

You should marry one already

[@SirBurrito]

I already have😂

[@tobyhriatpuia4701]

[@JustTayo]

Questions I didn’t think I’d need to ask but found interesting to know.

[@bearlyalive9669]

We could've had a elephant sized vegan sloth. Sometimes I hate our ancestors

[@bottledpills]

I'm. not. Famous. since when are animals vegans? they're herbivores lmao

[@seemaa6528]

that would be so awesome and *cute* T_T

[@anhoanminh4545]

they're herbivores dude. humans can be vegan but animals cant be vegan

[@EvilSantaTheTrue]

I could've been something natural and not humans but i doubt that humans even knew how to make weapons or even exist at that time

[@yesno8273]

Im a bit late(2 years lmao) but im pretty sure humans weren’t the biggest factor in their extinction. Humans were still in the stone age back then so they wouldn’t of had the population or tools needed to kill most of the sloths.

[@anaximander4589]

America should change it's national animal from bald eagle to sloths. Perfectly encapsulates the american people.

[@gladiusbladeofthenorth9939]

Highlander Jew Nope,its a better mascot for Brazil, because There are loads of them here,even in cities :-P(Sorry for my english im brazilian)

[@CadexLaw]

Atleast sloths took a step back & were like "ok clearly we chose the wrong side here" when it comes to animals vs plants

[@RoyceDaMan]

Americans actually work the most compared to other nationalities but whatever you say

[@uniqhnd23]

gritty aleks HAHA!

[@ajshim]

Acituanbus:GLaDOS eddition You are all so lucky. I would love to see sloths more often.

[@nhmooytis7058]

Best vid on YT! -Sid the Sloth

[@williamtarunadjaya189]

"you are what you eat" Basically sloth and pandas more and more becoming unmoving vegetables xD

[@michaelc822]

I'm deeply troubled by the sloth slander that occurs within my friend group despite videos like this offering a far more favorable insight into the laid-back ways of this magnificent animal. I can only hope that they grow to appreciate the way of the sloth ~~>_

[@vigilantesam]

this video is fantastic but i could barely get through it because i was so busy laughing at the phrase "Thomas Jefferson recieved a box of bones"

[@AMV10069]

Conclusion: *Tiny Cow Bears*

[@RynellTV]
