After a hard day of hanging upside-down in the trees, you’d be exhausted, too: Wild sloths are more active than those living in zoos.Courtesy guppiecat
Turns out sloths don’t really deserve their reputation for laziness. A new study shows that sloths in the wild are active up to six hours a day more than their cousins in captivity, where earlier studies had been conducted. I guess if you’re in a zoo and all your needs are taken care of, there’s just no point in moving around a lot.
These sloths need to take a lesson from those dudes on the creepy MSNBC show Lockup. Those guys seem to be pretty active even though they are in captivity.
Sloths are cute!
I LOVE SLOTHES!!!! THEY ARE MY FAV ANIMAL EVER!
