Apparently, it's doing really well now.
And also they're called "lazy bears" in Ecuador.

"Faultier" in german as well, "faul" = lazy and "tier" = animal
Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.
Doven = lazy, or more accurately, "action less". Dyr = animal.
Can we cut these little guys some slack!? Jesus. Every nation on Earth piling on.
Cut them some slack?! They've got all the slack already!
Portuguese: bicho preguica
Preguiça: to feel lazy, "bicho": a little less formal way to say animal
We literally called them lazies.
In french we call them "paresseux" which means "lazy"
Haha that's cool, I wonder if there are any languages where the sloth isn't named after their slow nature?
Aww. He looks suspiciously calm. Like as soon as the officer puts him somewhere safe he's going to walk back into the danger.
Here's an article with more details, including pictures with more pixels: https://abc7ny.com/sloth-ecuador-quevedo-oso-perezoso/1172446/
Alright, we'll give you really cool claws, but the trade-off is that you'll move with the speed of darkness.
Speed of darkness
Isn't that basically exactly the same as the speed of light? 🤨
Hehe, probably. It's just something I like to say, with the implication being that if the speed of light is fast, then the speed of darkness must be slow. It stands to reason, right?
"Sir do you know how fast you were going?"
Do you know why I stopped you?
Am I crazy or does that 2-toed sloth have 4 digits on its left hand?
Edit: my leading theory is its back left leg is next to its left foreleg. So we're seeing both finger and toenails.
Thesloth has both its left limbs right next to each other. In the first photo you can see both limbs more clearly but you can make out a small gap between them in the second photo too.
I noticed that, suspected ai, but I think I agree with your theory, especially considering the top photo shows them together
Ngl looks like he pissed himself
i probably would in that situation, if I were a sloth
“This is my guardrail. There are other guardrails, but mine is best.”
Oh my gosh what a cutie! Glad to see he's doing well now too!
That's a muppet.
