The Sloth And His Friends

Many amazing animals live in the Amazon rainforest: jaguars, anacondas, golden lion tamarinds, harpy eagles, cupaberas - just to name a few. But this story isn't about any of them... Sorry. This story is about a sloth. A what? A sloth. That's right. And not just any sloth - a brown-throated, three-toed sloth. Why in the world would anyone want to read a story about a sloth? Because sloths are awesome. Yes, they are slow. Very slow. And they sleep a lot. An awful lot. But they are gentle, thoughtful, and beautiful creatures. Most sloths are about as big as house cats. They have thick brown (or slightly green) fur, short snouts, big eyes, long legs, and small ears. Their curved claws are great for hanging onto branches. Sloths love to hang out - upside down - in trees! In fact, they spend most of their lives doing just that. They eat leaves - lots and lots of leaves. And not much else. Since sloths don't have much energy, everything requires serious time and effort. Eating is a challenge. Climbing a tree is an Olympic event. Of course, there's a lot more to learn about sloths. But this isn't a science book. It's a story. So what are you waiting for? Your slothful adventure awaits!
