Hot S**t of the Day: The Sloth! (with video)

I have a strong love for nature documentaries and David Attenborough.  Attenborough is likely the best narrator/host for nature documentaries and his patience and knowledge have helped him to capture some of natures rarest and most exquisite moments.

I saw this clip a few years back and stumbled upon it again recently.  In the video Attenborough introduces the viewer to a sloth.  I really had no idea what a sloth was until I watched the video.  An inhabitant of Central and South America, the sloth moves incredibly slow mainly due to the fact that their nutrition is primarily leaves which produces very little reserve energy.  The sloth is hideous yet elegant being partially deaf and partially blind.


You learn something new everyday!
