I love these guys. They are from another time, very long ago. They have a very difficult time fitting into our modern times but they are so worth our care. Sweet, gentle creatures.

bear_wub  bear_wub That was so sweet, I had to watch it more than once.  I love the two sharing the green bean.  They sure aren't a pretty animal, but that was a different side of them I have ever seen.  I wonder how come there are so many in an orphanage?  I have not seen many stories about the sloth.  Once in awhile I see them on the discovery channel.  so it was a refreshing video to see and they are so slow and sweet little creatures.
thanx so much for sharing. bear_wub

Under the clip, there's a bit of info about how the mothers are lost. It seems that being sweet, slow, and gentle doesn't equip one for modern life very well.  bear_sad

Oh my, what a delight to watch these beautiful (?) creatures.
Karen is right: they do seem to be from a totally different time, even a bit alien.  bear_laugh

I think they should make this a compulsory video for all overworked, overhurried, living-in-the-fast-lane people (present company included)  bear_grin .
No wonder the grown up sloths have such a hard time surviving in this world  bear_sad .

I'm feeling all relaxed and sleepy now ... must sit down ... want to close my eyes ... aaaahhhh.

Thank you for sharing that with us, Becky !  You're an angel  :hug: .

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter, Vincent & the bears

Karen is right - they are virtually prehistoric.

When the mammals superseded the dinosaurs there was a GI-NORMOUS creature called the Giant Sloth.  The sloths of today are literally minature versions of them.

I must say I really do think they are gorgeous - not pretty perhaps, but certainly not cute-ugly either (in my opinion).  Is the Slow-Loris a sloth?

:clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap: These animals are wonderful examples of 'keep it slow and simple' . . . something I've not learned yet in my 69 years.  In the times that I grew up, sloth was equal to being lazy - not a quality that was admired or allowed in my childhood.  What a pleasant little creature!!  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub

Excellent, I loved the one with his toy giraffe that just toppled over while holding him, the two sharing the green bean, the one with the incurable itch, and the one at the end that looked like some wise bhuddist creation!

In this hectic world it's nice to see a critter who takes everything SLOWLY, and wears a SMILE all the time........what do they know that we don't?
Thanks so much for sharing
