Does a Sloth Sink or Swim?

submitted by mintbbb

1 decade 1 year 2 months 2 weeks ago

YouTube Description:

Crazy Swimming Sloths. Some nice people try and do a couple sloths a favor and pull them out of the water, taking them to land. Should sloths be in the water swimming and if you see a sloth floating around should you help it?

*comedy...however unintentional.

Adding video to channels (Comedy) - requested by rottenseed.

Witch!

That's awesome. In several million years they may become exclusively water dwellers, similarly to how dolphins and whales evolved from pig-like and cow-like creatures.

Except the sea-sloths will have huge claws at the ends of their fins.

[edit]
Actually, it seems there were species of sea-sloths evolving through history, with their snout growing longer with a raised breathing hole. I guess evolution proved them too slow to survive in the water, as they all went extinct and left the ground-based species to carry on their good name.

I'm sorry but this video has only reinforced my intention to one day offer a sloth a speedboat ride.
