This is a silk floss tree. It stands on campus outside our department building. It is believed that the silk floss tree developed its spikes as protection against megafauna, especially mega sloths. 🤯🤯🤯 I mean, what am I supposed to do with awesome information like that? I think I’m going to have to lie down. Someone fetch me my smelling salts. 🦥🦥🦥 @academicchatter #sloths #megafauna #florida #miami #trees #treesofmastodon

#Sloths have stringy low fat meat, and large Birds of Prey like to eat them.
Why aren't more large #BirdsOfPrey trying to eat us, or at the very least human children?

This rare footage says the sloth (one of my favorite creatures) can actually move fast & defend itself pretty well when it needs to.

While sloths eat a lot of plants, they avoid releasing gas through the quirk of their very slow digestion.

It's time for a revival of the Sloth Sunday posts.
Certainly feels like the day for it since it's pissing rain here. #IrishJuly has been a wet month indeed. Nothing else but #slothing to do today.
#slothsunday
This photo is of a sloth baby & mum in Fota Wildlife park in co. Cork, from 2022.
Many a trip to #FotaWildlife when we still lived in #Cork. The #redpandas used to be my faves.
But I digress.. so, #sloths !

I never posted the photos of the last sloth I met on the trip! This one was awake and active.

#KnowledgeByte: #Sloths are famous for being extremely slow. Three-toed sloths are the slowest-moving mammals on the planet.
Do you know why?

Who needs sloth photos on a Friday evening?
This one was very awake and active, climbing a tree.

IT'S SLOTH TIME AGAIN!!!
A two-toed sloth this time. Note the longer hair, brown rather than gray, and the piggy nose.
Costa Rica.

IT'S SLOTH TIME!!!!
Again. Because it's can't be sloth time just once. Same 3-toed sloth as earlier but it had moved a little during our hike so I had to take more photos. Only 7 photos this time.
Arenal volcano, Costa Rica.

3-toed sloth. It even opened its eyes for a minute. If you look carefully at its fur, you'll see his live-in companions, especially ticks.
These are the photos I took on our way up. I took more photos on our way down because it had moved an inch or so.

I have too many photos of sloths and all are too cute to sort out and delete. Also, I can't remember which sloth (2-toed or 3-toed) has long hair vs short hair, brown vs grey, smiley face vs piggy face). I heard the explanation so many times but it simply wouldn't stick, I'll just have to google it.
