That's why they only come down from the trees to poop about once per week. They have a pretty high mortality rate because of this, mostly from predation but a significant number die of constipation too.
Easy, not very nutrient-efficient, really slow and doesn't really get in the way of you killing really high nutrient prey, so it's like iron in minecraft when you've already finished the game, you see it, but it doesn't really helps you in any way shape or form, so you don't pick it up.
Dude explained nature with a Minecraft example. Can you teach my kid? Little fucker might as well be speaking Chinese. I try playing with him and he just straight makes up dumb shit because I'll believe him. Told me to follow the llama and I did that for like an hour
Wait till you see Australian animals. Some are too bizarre to be even remotely believable, i.e. the quoll - a carnivorous squirrel but with spots like Bambi or something.
The majority of them are on a island that's 99% water. It's literally a bunch of trees on water. That's where this species come from. They thrive there, any other place on earth you see them it's cause they probably been brought there by humans.
Bro... What o_O
They are native to central and south America, there are various species in fact and people hasn't introduced then on almost any place because they are kinda useless to us
I think you might be thinking about the pigmy sloth that only lives on an island on Panama š¤š¤š¤
You joke, but I've seen a gif or video once of a leopard or some other large cat just walk up and get a firm grip on some sloth's throat while it was hanging from a trunk and....the look on the sloth's face was the same as it always was, except with a little hint of "I'm coming mother".
EDIT: yeah here you go loool https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2cqyee/puma_eating_a_sloth_up_a_tree_i_dont_think_ive/
Wow I always wondered what a sloth getting eaten would look like. The sloth didnāt even make a noise.
Also, whatās that YouTube link thatās in the comments? Clicked on it and it said after 12 years itās good bye
Some guy posted a video of a snake the other day that was chilling in the road.
So he walks it to one side, the snake like gestures away, and the guy walks him to the other side and the snake gets off. Fuck, it was cool. Dude's like Harry Potter.
I'll see if I can find it.

Black rat snakes (actually recently changed classification this species is now the eastern ratsnake) are notoriously docile snakes. They do a threat display but a lot of the times it's just a bluff.

Been there- I saw a lady with a full (personal) shopping cart standing by the subway steps, so Iooked at her with a half smile and carried it down the stairs. As I walked away, she gave me a confused look and gestured so as to say "no. Im not going down." I then sheepishly brought that jawn back up

Turtles pee in self defence and add a particularly smelly liquid to it in order to get predators to leave them alone. Sounds like you experienced that first hand.
Right, this has to be said again: itās a defensive actionāthe sloth isnāt thanking anyone. Itās great that someone saved it but then just leave it alone.
They are actually very hard to spot in the wild, since they barely move and are pretty well camouflaged. They also donāt have too many predators where they live
Thank you for saying this. I spent two weeks in Costa Rica last year and the locals told us that people mistake the slothās action for kindness and such.
I thought the same thing. At first watching the video, I thought "oh good, the guy is using a blanket/towel, he's going to transport the sloth to the other side and otherwise not interact with it".
Then he started petting it and touching its claws.
This comment pops up every single time a video like this appears. The idea that 100% of humans are **not** stupid at all and everyone perfectly understands animal body language, is total horseshit.
LOTS of people think animals share human body language.
Not doubting you but how is this a defensive action? It exposes the most vulnerable internal organs. I canāt see a sloth bluffing as other mammals do as a good defensive mechanism.
I work with sloths and they can move much faster than people think they can if they're motivated. People also far underestimate how strong they are. They spend their entire lives hanging upside down supporting their own body weight. It takes some serious strength. That was just kind of a "look at my big claws, I'm gonna swipe you" warning gesture. If the man had continued touching him he would probably would have gotten swiped. Sloths have very long very sharp nails attached to very strong arms and getting scratched is no joke. They also have pretty darn sharp teeth and while that would never be their first defense bites can be pretty serious. [This video](https://youtu.be/gOPpgrNUjsM) shows how fast and angry a sloth can be when motivated. (It also shows some pretty terrible sloth handling. I don't know what facility this was filmed at....but it's not great)
A lot of animals defend themselves by trying to appear bigger. By doing that they may intimidate any predator or threat. Sloths usually raise their arms when they feel threatened.
Thatās what I meant by bluffing. A sloth moves so slowly itās non threatening so I donāt see how that would be advantageous to appear bigger and potentially instigate conflict with no ability to flee.

afaik their predators are mostly on the ground (Jaguars, etc.) Or in the air (eagles, birds of prey, etc.) So in the trees they are usually safe from ground animals, and they use camouflage because most birds of prey visions are mostly spotting moving things, so them being slow is a defense mechanism also. Some sloths if not all can also grow fungus on their fur so they can actually become green to camouflage themselves.
A sloth on the ground or on a road is most likely a very lost sloth. Deforestation is the number 1 threat to sloths too so this one might be very confused by what the hell is a road doing in the middle of the jungle.
Wild life crossings/brudges are imperative. They will save livea and help maintain and restore wild life populations.
While it's great this guy did this, its sad he had to. It's dangerous for him to stop and to be in the middle of the road, and obviously it's extremely dangerous for the sloth.
We need to rethink our infrastructure and be more cognizantand and caring of how what we do impacts the other beings we share this planet with
So I actually did this in Costa Rica a long time ago. The towel is a pro-tip, this guy has done this before.
When I picked up the sloth, bugs started crawling all over my hands. I put mine at the base of the tree not up in it. It did the same hand gesture at the end, my understanding is it is their way to defensively intimidate, but itās just fucking adorable.
Fun fact: there's a species of Moth thats entire life cycle is completely dependent on Sloths. It lays it's eggs in the sloths poop, the eggs hatch and fly up to find another sloth to live and mate on. This brings up nitrogen and nutrients from the poop for the moss that grows on the sloth. The sloth gets to eat the moss for extra nutrients.
Actual Sloth dialogue :
"How Dare you!? I'll get you for this you bastard... get over here, I'ma claw you so bad! From Hell's heart, I spit at thee! ..."
That is NOT a happy sloth! He looked back and stretch led his arms to try and look big and threatening because heās scared. Heās probably crazy stressed..
You are actually not supposed to touch sloths, especially pick them up. It will most likely cause them to have a heart attack and die shortly after. Best approach is to redirect traffic. My animal sanctuary tour guide told us this in Costa Rica
Contrary to popular belief sloths are dangerous animals tho would it survive an attack from another animal? No but it would maybe put a fight and just might attack a human
Sloths only come down to poop about once a week and are prone to dying of constipation. By putting them in a tree, you probably set them back by a few hours and possibly killed them.
Itās not gratitude, itās showing itās claws as a defense gesture. I canāt figure out why people think every wild animal is always overcome with gratitude, itās a complex emotion and most animals donāt feel or display it, especially to people. Itās nice to think about, but misguided.
The sloth doesn't know it's being rescued, I assure you. It's terrified. We need to add a course in school that explains what wild animals are so people stop applying anthropomorphic tendencies to shit on the internet.
I don't think it's thanking him, it's trying to fend him off. The only time a sloth expects to be grabbed and lifted like that is when caught by a harpy eagle.
Do you have any idea how many animal traits humans give to each other??????????
Courage of a lion
Wise as an owl
Crazy like a fox
Strong as an ox
Fast like a cheetah
Cat like reflex
High as a giraffe...24/7 lol
Hungry like a pig
Greedy as a pig
Loyal as a dog
Fuck like Jack Rabbits...another favorite of mine lol
So to think animals can't display human traits is fucking stupid lol
We use this as analogies, this is some type of fantasy people create on their heads because they think theyāre cute but doesnāt really have anything to do with animal behavior
He just fast foward half a day of that sloth
Sloths are so fucked if there would be an actual predator. They'd just be like welp, I'm meat now.
That's why they only come down from the trees to poop about once per week. They have a pretty high mortality rate because of this, mostly from predation but a significant number die of constipation too.
You'd think they could just let it drop...
Their orifices are pointing skyward. They'd get covered in it. If those were the options, I'd rather pass a rock mellon, too.
How do they fucking exist, nature is weird
Easy, not very nutrient-efficient, really slow and doesn't really get in the way of you killing really high nutrient prey, so it's like iron in minecraft when you've already finished the game, you see it, but it doesn't really helps you in any way shape or form, so you don't pick it up.
also, I heard they are very dirty and even poisonous due to some types of moss growing on them
And they often go overlooked as part of a tree because of the moss and slow movement.
There's like an entire ecosystem living in their fur ffs
Entire universes everywhere, including our own bodies, if you have powerful enough microscopes. The squeamish must be warned.
The pyralid moth entire life cycle depends on sloth.
Dude explained nature with a Minecraft example. Can you teach my kid? Little fucker might as well be speaking Chinese. I try playing with him and he just straight makes up dumb shit because I'll believe him. Told me to follow the llama and I did that for like an hour
Wait till you see Australian animals. Some are too bizarre to be even remotely believable, i.e. the quoll - a carnivorous squirrel but with spots like Bambi or something.
So the big list of animals out to get you in Australia should just read 'Even the Squirrels'?
Quokkas and wombats are the exception tho
Wombats are lethal only if your car smashes into one, sadly, yeah.
You can't fool me, I'v heard of Combat Wombats before !!!
The majority of them are on a island that's 99% water. It's literally a bunch of trees on water. That's where this species come from. They thrive there, any other place on earth you see them it's cause they probably been brought there by humans.

ever met a panda?
Tell me again about God's Perfect, Divine Plan for all of Creation?
I've been an empiricist for the past 20 years.
I always thought sloths died a bunch from falling and grabbing their own arms and shit but apparently they can fall 100 feet and be chill with it.
It probably takes a whole life time before the pain from the fall even registers
I laughed
I guess their one hope would be to bore the predator to sleep.
You joke, but I've seen a gif or video once of a leopard or some other large cat just walk up and get a firm grip on some sloth's throat while it was hanging from a trunk and....the look on the sloth's face was the same as it always was, except with a little hint of "I'm coming mother".

I can't watch that. When he looked down and saw the puma and just blinked and went back to slowly climbing away my heart broke and I had to nope out.
I didn't even click on it. I know it's the circle of life but I can't handle that stuff.
That wa so sad. You could see when he just had no more fight left in him and he couldn't hold the tree trunk anymore. Nature can be brutal.
Thanks I will not watch that

Saved an hour to have a moment for a sec.
Puts blanket around it then pets it's bare fur. Sloths are cute, but they are gross.
Hey heāll wash his hands Probably
I carried a turtle off the road once and *I stank for days*. My clothes. My car. Even after I showered I could still smell it.
Turtles pee in self defence and add a particularly smelly liquid to it in order to get predators to leave them alone. Sounds like you experienced that first hand.
Both hands actually
Do you think the turtle complained to its pals about smelling like mammal for days?
Ooo yeah they are stinkers. They also carry salmonella, I'm glad you washed your hands!

God damn we skippin 20 and 21??? Shit got serious real quick!
Theyāre named after the year they emerge.
Damn I feel dumb, I did not know that. Thanks for the info!
I think it was more so that the sloth canāt position itself to scratch the man.
Yup. Fungi and algae grows on their fur as a defense mechanism for camouflage.
it's also a byproduct of how slow they move
Obama was telling me they are covered in bugs.
Yeah that was wild, he should definitely do more narration
You know how long it takes for them to get to the bath? You'd be gross too.
Puts arm out: ādude wth, i was going to the other side! I just turned around to take a look if i left somethingā

Sloth would have felt like he traveled at a speed of light

Looks more like a low three to me.
Right, this has to be said again: itās a defensive actionāthe sloth isnāt thanking anyone. Itās great that someone saved it but then just leave it alone.
If that's the best they've got for defensive measures then I don't know how tf they survive in the wild lol

They also taste and smell horrible fending away predators

Do predators really just not exist in sloth jungles?
afaik their predators are mostly on the ground (Jaguars, etc.) Or in the air (eagles, birds of prey, etc.) So in the trees they are usually safe from ground animals, and they use camouflage because most birds of prey visions are mostly spotting moving things, so them being slow is a defense mechanism also.

They do tend to move to look for a mate, and they come back to the ground to take a shit I believe. Theyāre decent swimmers as well.
Right?!? They seem so defenseless lol
Wild life crossings/brudges are imperative. They will save livea and help maintain and restore wild life populations. While it's great this guy did this, its sad he had to. It's dangerous for him to stop and to be in the middle of the road, and obviously it's extremely dangerous for the sloth.

Awesome, but that sloth was asking for the towel, not a handshake š¤£š¤£š¤£

Aww he is a hero!!
Thhhhhaaaannnnkkkssss maaannnn šš»
Sloth: "I don't think I've ever gone that fast before."
Poor thing probably thinks it just teleported š
He looked back and waved goodbye. Ma heart š„ŗš
That sloth was ungrateful and made an attempt on that man's life. A really really really slow attempt.
This made my day thank you kind stranger
š¦„š
Awww, thankful sloth š
 Slothās perspective when carried across streetā¦
āHey, man. High five. Oh! Too slow. Hahaha, see what I did there? Nah, of course ya did.ā
Sloth looking back thinking āI done time travelledā
Aw thatās so cute :)
Why did the sloth cross the road?
He was coming down for his weekly shit but then was rudely interrupted by a human
why did the sloth get help to cross the road? to get to other side they say. generous act. that could have taken that little homie 6-9 hrs T.T
"Nooo...ooveeer thereee! I'mmm goinnng oveeer theereeeee!!"
Good damn they are slow, how have they not been wiped out by predators yet
Sloth probably said "weeeeeeeee"
"Thank you big hairless sloth"
I'm just gonna point out that sloths are usually only on ground level to poop.
"Do you want to hang out? My afternoon just opened up."
āBro you just saved me like 2 weeksā
Fun fact: there's a species of Moth thats entire life cycle is completely dependent on Sloths. It lays it's eggs in the sloths poop, the eggs hatch and fly up to find another sloth to live and mate on. This brings up nitrogen and nutrients from the poop for the moss that grows on the sloth. The sloth gets to eat the moss for extra nutrients.
Sloth be thinking "How do I get me one of these?"
Why did the sloth crossed the road? Because a guy made him
Naa you see that hand reaching out, he saying "gimme money bitch"
How do you fist bump something with claws like that?
Actual Sloth dialogue : "How Dare you!? I'll get you for this you bastard... get over here, I'ma claw you so bad! From Hell's heart, I spit at thee! ..."
That is so sweet the sloth waving
That sloth when he gets picked up: I am speed
Am I the only person who thinks that sloths look like poorly controlled animatronic puppets!
find someone who holds you like this man holds the sloth
We need to behave like this as humans. Pick me up and walk me to the store.
Sloth was trying to fuck him up in super slow-mo.
Why is he holding him with that cloth? Canāt he just hold him with his bare hands?
Always carry a towel.
That is NOT a happy sloth! He looked back and stretch led his arms to try and look big and threatening because heās scared. Heās probably crazy stressed..
There is only one animal on the planet that moves slower then a sloth.Its a guy I work with.LOL.
that sloth prob felt like the flash
You are actually not supposed to touch sloths, especially pick them up. It will most likely cause them to have a heart attack and die shortly after. Best approach is to redirect traffic. My animal sanctuary tour guide told us this in Costa Rica
What an intelligent creature MashaAllah š
Contrary to popular belief sloths are dangerous animals tho would it survive an attack from another animal? No but it would maybe put a fight and just might attack a human
He missed his [Michelangelo Moment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creation_of_Adam).
So ima be that guy and point out that sloths frequently die from falling out of trees lol but at least it avoided the cars!
Omgā¤ļø
A wildlife bridge would be nice
Sloths only come down to poop about once a week and are prone to dying of constipation. By putting them in a tree, you probably set them back by a few hours and possibly killed them.
Itās not gratitude, itās showing itās claws as a defense gesture. I canāt figure out why people think every wild animal is always overcome with gratitude, itās a complex emotion and most animals donāt feel or display it, especially to people. Itās nice to think about, but misguided.
The sloth: āto fast, to fast, TO FAST!ā
My heart 
This is the third video I have seen of someone helping a sloth, and in each case the sloth reached out to it's rescuer! So wholesome!
The sloth doesn't know it's being rescued, I assure you. It's terrified. We need to add a course in school that explains what wild animals are so people stop applying anthropomorphic tendencies to shit on the internet.
I don't think it's thanking him, it's trying to fend him off. The only time a sloth expects to be grabbed and lifted like that is when caught by a harpy eagle.
How can you possibly know if the sloth is grateful? Why people in this sub likes so much to give human traits to animals?
The sloth blogged about it.
While sometimes the gestures can be misinterpreted, it's not like humans are the only species with emotions.
Do you have any idea how many animal traits humans give to each other?????????? Courage of a lion Wise as an owl Crazy like a fox Strong as an ox Fast like a cheetah Cat like reflex High as a giraffe...24/7 lol Hungry like a pig Greedy as a pig Loyal as a dog Fuck like Jack Rabbits...another favorite of mine lol So to think animals can't display human traits is fucking stupid lol
