French called these cute little mammals, La Paris or the lazy one. The Germans call them dos falter or lazy animal English speakers call them a mortal sin. But these cute little green mammals get a bum wrap. They're not lazy. They're just efficient. Being the slowest mammal on earth has the added benefit of also using very little energy As they plot along the canopy of trees. They require little to no effort making their daily tracks. They only travel 125 feet. Why would they have to travel any further than that The slots primary diet consists of delicious and abundant leaves and foliage If they want lunch, they just reach out and grab it. No need to chase down your prey like a predator.
Not have to drive all the way to the other side of town for tacos. The jungle is a scary place with scary predators like the jaguar or the harpy eagle, but a lot of these predators depend on their sharp sense of sight to locate their prey So slow sloths slow meditative movements may actually make them invisible to those top predators Kind of like that scene in the first Jurassic Park where the T-Rex can't see you unless you move you know what I'm talking about Like cool slow moving creatures. Well, you might especially enjoyed this video about Torah, Tops' Dorn High or what is also known as the Immortal Jellyfish. That's correct folks. We're talking about an animal that can live forever.
