Really?

Can just imagine the sloth as he carries it; "JESUS CHRIST MAN SLOW DOWN, YOU'LL KILL US ALL"

The video has the story. A sloth crosses a road. That's the story.

Closed it because I take it personally that they think I will watch that crap advert first.

The Running Man · 17 May 2011 at 18:43

Yea the advert is annoying but it is almost worth sticking and watching it through!

Sorry, i never imagined a zombie like creature that does actually roam the earn crawling hand to foot...Its not like they are ten to a penny here in the UK is it, NOR do they get much press or nature shows dedicated to them...

Cosimo · 17 May 2011 at 18:47

What an amazing creature. Would make a great sofa TV pet.

normally they stay haning upside-down down from branches only coming down to poop, and cross roads it seems.

as you can tell they're not very good the right way up or on flat land

they just hang off their hook shaped claws.

They go green because algae grows on them .
