In this amusing and entertaining clip from the BBC’s Life of Mammals, David Attenborough looks at the life of a sloth. The sloth has adapted to the lack of nutrition in its diet of leaves by hanging around not doing very much at all. We even get to see one moving at high speed!

Hard to imagine a sloths having sex
Did he just roast vegans and sloths at the same time?
David roasting the vegetarians

Sloths move faster than light, which is why we think they react slow, it's just light lag
1. To mark it's territory "stay away from my tree!". 2. For sanitary reasons, to not shit on it's food. 3. To keep away a slip and fall hazard; shit on the branches is dangerous. 4. Because shitting upside down is awkward, as is trying to perch on a branch when you're that clumsy.
Common sense dictates that's why they climb down.
David Attenborough: boo!
Sloth: ?
So the sloth has life figured out?
when the poop escalating down the forest floor, maybe it make a sound so sloth location are likely to be detected by other predators. so they might have to be evolved that way? how about this theory?
what a savage reply to vegetarians 0:19 – 0:31
Such a reined gentleman. I can watch his shows over and over, I love how he pronounces the word "deefacate".
My dad once asked me if sloths were bears.
I love that most sloths look like they're always smiling. I do that when I take a dump too, smile from ear to ear.?
This legend roasted vegans along with the sloth.
What do you call a three-humped camel?
Imagine having a knighted scientist narrate your shit

What a life that animal has! … Heck, who am I kidding? I'm as close to being a sloth as humanly possible.

How did they survive without being poisonous?
Mystery?? Wow people are dumb. Clearly it poops in one spot just like we would. And clearly it poops on the floor just like we we would…why would you shit and poop out of a tree in the woods when you know that the sound and smell of poop and piss falling in the the forest all around one tree is a big target on your back instead of a quiet shit and piss in one little spot.
YouTube recommendations got it right this time.
Last recommendation was of Partyboi.. who has become my fav artist/cowboy
