I normally don't feel sorry for prey, as it is the way of life. But sloths are just so adorable : /
Look at him flailing his arms and legs around "halp i iz sloths pls let me downs :("

Sorry about the music.

That bird must be huge, I though sloths were large-ish!

Uh-hu, I thought so...
Harpy Eagles are 89-105 cm (2.94-3.43 ft) long and have a wingspan of approximately 200 cm (6 ft, 7 in). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy_Eagle

Harpy Eagles are the reason tanks weigh 60-90 tons instead of 20-40 tons.

this is my dating technique

"halp i iz sloths pls let me downs".

A short life is made all the more fulfilling by the ever-present threat of death. To be truly animal, focused only on the moment, with the narrowest of consciousness, things fading in and out of it as they become pertinent, can be quite exhilarating.

The risk of death is the price any conscious thing pays for the joy of avoiding it every day. It's a reality most of us here will hardly ever face, but there is no need to feel sorry for those that do.
