Sloths in Space
Sloth Bowl
NFL Super Bowl! Nah, didn’t watch it. Maybe I’d be more likely to if this was the actual half time show:
Polar Bear Cafe
The anime show Shirokuma Cafe, or Polar Bear Cafe, is about a group of animals who frequent a cafe run by a polar bear. Episode 3 (Part 2) is all about the problems faced by each of the animals, and it features Mr. Sloth! Poor Sloth has to hang from a tree all day, but it makes his arms tingle.
Watch the full episode here:

Mr. Sloth features from 18:45.
What does the sloth say? Meep meep meep meep meep-ma-meep
1:20 made me laugh.
Sloth hair may cure cancer
Is there anything that sloths CAN’T do?
Dutch TV commercials starring Aart the Sloth
The Dutch company HoyHoy (from what I can interpret using Google Translate) compares prices on home, travel, car and health insurance (like Oz’s cute Meerkat version). Their commercials all feature a sloth named Aart! (Click here for the whole list of commercials on YouTube.)
In this one, Aart has saved some money, but then blown it all on some sloth bitches he met on Sloth Tindr…

Sloth Yawn. Can’t Even.
Oh my. Please go to Primatography‘s Tumblr site and watch this video of a sloth yawning. I can’t even.
Behind the Scenes of the “Save the Americans” Costa Rican Tourism Video
I posted this fantastic video a month ago by the Visit Costa Rica tourism board for their “Save the Americans” ad campaign. This gives a little behind the scenes info about the voices and music that went into making that video.

Xena the Sloth
Xena is a little bit unpredictable. She can be quiet one minute and full of beans the next! But you can’t help but love her. If you like the look of this little sloth, grab it from Amazon.
The name Xena comes from the word “Xenarthra“, the superorder of placental mammals which includes tree sloths as well as their cousins armadillos and anteaters. It means “strange joints”, as the vertebral joints of these animals have extra articulations and are unlike any other mammal (xenarthry).
I know, I know. This sloth is actually called Belt from The Croods. But, well, I like to personalise my sloths with their own unique natures.
