It’s gonna take her three days to get back up there man. Lol. Put her back up high. She’s a sweet little sloth. These guys are being so gentle. I like them. Great work guys. ♥️

[@bellestar5960]

I think they’re so adorable. They even blink slow, they also look like they are constantly smiling. I wish this was a longer and a little more informative like how often do they give birth, how long are they pregnant for, how long do the babies stay with the mom.

Sloths are such beautiful, unusual creatures! Their faces are the cutest ever...really, we have sooo many animals who are just too cute and they are ALL endangered or on the brink now....we do not deserve them...Love the young, handsome scientist...You can tell he loves those sloths heaps...He has passion and dedication...He will do all right...

No, she wasn't. Sloths don't even have the muscle necessary to change facial expression.

Years ago while visiting the Rainforest exhibit at the top of the Baltimore Aquarium I came upon the male in their new pair of sloths. He was so adorable...very gentle and fascinated by my sunglasses, which I had sitting on top of my head. He did nit try to grab them but studies them very closely. Their keeper came up,to talk to me and joked the big concern was how they would ruins each either as slow as they were. Of course once she came into estrus I imagine he found her pretty quick.

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Why did they not put the newly collared SLOTH BACK UP THE SAME EXACT TREE THAT THEY TOOK HER FROM?? HUH? WHAT? Here, let's just pluck you from your own perch and plop you a new tree a few blocks over (saith the sloth that took 2 days to find her own perch). Smithsonian says that they know best? Likely not from the female Sloth's perspective, eh? Grrr.

[@hankharris1780]

That’s not true it dosent matter where you put them they just have to be in a tree that is still alive and it didn’t take them two days to find it

[@hankharris1780]

I love sloths! I wish the video was all about sloths but it’s ok.

And this one was done to test how they sleep? 🙄 Just cuz you’re curious, they gotta suffer? And don’t get me started on the collars u put on them. Leave them the F alone.

If ya want to study Sloths just go to Washington DC they're all over the place. The only différance is the ones in DC can run, I can't believe they made a production of this as they're so damn easy to study all over Central America especially in towns.

[@luceatlux7087]

the difference in sleep makes sense; different stress levels. you ever been out on your own? when i turned 18, I was spending literally weeks awake sometimes (studying, working... just worrying like hell). my top measurement was 13 days (I should have recorded it, as I believe it's still higher than the world record). if i had some security blanket (such as my parents being rich, etc), stress level would be dramatically reduced and immune system would be higher, iq would be increased via increase in sleep... on and on and on. it's why, contrary to what some people say, there isn't a lot of social mobility in the US. Wki entry: Intergenerational upward mobility is more common, where children or grandchildren are in economic circumstances better than those of their parents or grandparents. In the US, this type of mobility is described as one of the fundamental features of the "American Dream" even though there is less such mobility than almost all other OECD countries.[5] [5] Causa O, Johansson Å (July 2009).

Looks like you all saying what a nice day ,I be glad when this is over with.

[@sandrawehrley4212]

I’d say captive animals may sleep longer because their defense mechanism has slowed because they have no dangers of predators. In the wild…sleep is shorter, they have to be awake to protect themselves from predators. You would think that’s a big reason. Animals will start to understand that while in captivity, food is brought to them regularly, no worries of territory taken, and no predators. They start to understand this and get used to it. Generation to generation I’ll assume.

[@bigpump2620]

One man's theory is not science. It seems as if the Smithsonian exists for the sole purpose of denying the biblical account of creation. However I found this a beautifully done video.

The only scientific theory that makes sense is quantum mechanics and physics which suggest that reality exists in the mind only.

[@jennylynwall3424]

When they were studying the pigmy sloths and they made contact with the fishing village, why don’t they bring the kids a little bit of candy! I mean 1 piece of hard candy per child would not hurt anything and give the rest to the adults maybe with a extra bag or 2 for the village to share. Chocolate would melt but wrapped hard candy would last a long time and be a special gift. It my help their research because the village could show the scientists where they found new pigmy sloths and stop cutting down and burning wood for charcoal. Wouldn’t hurt for the scientist to bring some bags of charcoal to stop the burning of trees if they were that worried about losing the animals habitat thus losing the tiny population of pigmy sloths. We all know our manufactured charcoal last at least 50 times longer then charcoal from trees they burn down. I don’t know why they don’t allow limited eco tourism to bring in money to fund projects and help village ppl that could be valuable to the scientists work. They do it with the mountain gorillas. To visit a group of wild gorillas it cost a minimum of $350 per person to spend 1 hour visiting and just watching the gorillas and each group of gorillas get visited by 1 group of only 5 or 6 eco tourists a day. The walk up the mountain to see a group of gorillas takes at least 4 hours. This extra money adds up helping villagers buy the things they need instead of cutting down the forests and has help the scientists buy large pieces of land so it is not sold for palm oil plantations etc and becomes part of the gorillas protected habitat. In the last 10 years they have bought 1000’s of acres and been able to pay for security to those areas.
