  • Sloths move so slowly that they are able to support entire ecosystems in their fur. Also, they only poop once a week.

    Sloths are creepy when they move on the ground. They look like demented robots with a thin veil of defiled fur. Trying to pass themselves off as slow, cute, and harmless until they rip your throat out with those claws.

    • @f..f3683

      Lol. But, actually, sloths are very gentle creatures. Some zoos have sloth cages that they let visitors enter, and sometimes even allow the visitors to pet the sloths, because the sloths don't mind at all.
