Why Does the Sloth Swim Across the River?
We looked over the rail of our Amazon river boat, the Dawn on the Amazon, and were surprised to see a sloth swimming for all she was worth. Sloths are strong swimmers, but this sloth was going nowhere, her three toe claws were tangled in the brush.
“Can we [...]

Q. How does the sloth, being such a lethargic animal, survive in the wild where norm is survival of the fittest?A. The sloth’s extreme sluggishness works to its advantage. This primitive mammal which sleeps 18 hours out of every 24, expends so little energy that it eats much less than its more advanced relatives. This is one reason for its success. It survives on a few calories, so it doesn’t have to move about much for forage and the leaves it eats are abundant.The sloth’s laziness in grooming helps its natural camouflage. Its coarse hair, rarely tended, is practically an ecosystem by itself, harbour two species of blue-green algae. The growth of algae turns the sloth’s hair greenish, making it almost invisible in the trees. It is far from conspicuous to its predators. With its he

Oh, woe is me. I can not for the life of me think of something to do for the popdeck and allmightys contest. Normally, I don't have a problem thinking of something, but this is giving me fits. The theme is "Out and About" and while that should be easy it's almost too broad. Hopefully something will appear before me because I really want to do this.I'm ready for Spring now. Good thing because it starts tomorrow. Expect instant results.I was watching some featurettes on the making of God of War 2 today. It still doesn't register to me how some don't respect the level of skill and patience needed to make a video game. It seemed like a brutal ordeal. Great game though.Bunnies have just passed kittens for number three on the global cuteness rankings. Just behind Puppies and the hybrid, Punnies.
The Vatican released a list of seven new sins on Monday. Dubbed the "social sins," they include conducting stem-cell research, polluting the environment, and causing poverty. Along with the old standbys—like lust, pride, and greed—these seven are considered to be of the "deadly" variety. What kinds of sins aren't deadly?

I’m ready for the weekend. The video that I have this week will have one split over laughter and saying, “Awwwwwwwwww.” This video features a baby sloth that…well, it pretty much acts like a sloth. The baby sloth features its climbing instinct, only to be superceded by the much stronger (and more sloth-like) instinct to [...]
The humidity holds me like my daughter does when she is tired - it grips my hands and works to pull me down. I drag instead of walk. And a weird thing happens to my brain. I WANT to be this slow and lazy. My motivation is sucked out ounce by ounce and becomes the hot sticky moisture that fills the air. Who can function in this? You can’t be expected to do much; you’d actually keel over if you did!
And that is the beauty in it. No guilt, no pressure. It’s completely liberating! A true summer, just like when i was a kid. I wear little clothing and flip flops, only shower at night, AND what a great excuse for not cooking! If I do get myself to do something “strenuous” - it’s riding my bike. I get completely soaked with sweat. You’d think I just peddled twenty miles, but no, I just went four blocks to the library; and for that I get the gratifying sweat that is usually earned with the undertaking of a serious work-out.

This is another great UK Hip Hop track I have heard to date. But, when trying to get it screened on Channel U, the stations response was "the video does not appeal to the Channel U audience".These are the type of tunes that needs to get aired and heard by the masses, as the track pays homage to the pioneers of UK Hip Hop.Read about it here: http://forums.ukhh.com/viewtopic.php?t=49982

Agra, May 8 (IANS) Forest officials here recovered a pair of baby sloth bears, leading to the arrest of two wildlife traders for their illegal possession.
Uttar Pradesh forest department officials - along with members of Wildlife SOS and One Voice Association, France - found the five to six-month-old cubs Sunday in a remote location in the Mughal Sarai district, near the holy city of Varanasi.
“The two ‘owners’ of the cubs - Ithwar and Jumman - have been sent to Varanasi jail,” said Vasudha Mehta, an official of Wildlife SOS, headquartered in Agra.
Ramesh Chandra Mishra, a wildlife conservator, said: “During initial interrogations, the accused confessed that the cubs were procured from Mubarakpur forests in the Kashi wildlife division of Uttar Pradesh.”
Kartick Satyanarayan, co-founder of Wildlife SOS, said: “The intelligence gathering and investigation that led to this seizure were initiated after an earlier raid in September at the Kathputli
I never knew that baby sloths were so cute. I saw lots of sloths down in Costa Rica a few years ago when I was down there on a holiday. Might not be the same type of sloth, but hard to tell I never got as close as this video. This little guy just can't seem to stay awake.Tags: animals, sloth, youtube, video, videorambler
