VIDEO: SLOTH ON A WIRE


From the cricket-catching chameleon in Madagascar to whale sharks eating out of a fisherman's hand in the Philippines, we've seen animals doing some cool stuff. 

But watching a sloth motor across a high-line wire was one of the strangest yet. 

Typically known for being slow and lazy--sloth's name in Spanish, "perezoso," actually means lazy--these creatures move pretty fast when they have somewhere to go.

Thankfully their cuteness is not up for question. Did you see Photo Friday?

  1. What's up with the Lion King music in the background? Was this outside your hotel as well??

    'Perezoso' kinda sounds like Panozzo, doesn't it? No wonder why I've always been so fond of the sloth. We speak the same language;)

    1. Auntie Jess! That may have been a cell phone ring tone...or else the sloth turned on her own sound effects for the acrobatic show! And, I think we ALL have a little perezoso in us, regardless of last names :)
