Better Than Human
Sloths: One of The World's Weirdest Animals
Show Notes

Sloths are a group of mammals native to South America that are actually quite a bizarre animal that seems like it shouldn't exist. How is it normal for a species to have a weekly poo with a poo dance? And that isn’t even the weirdest thing about them. 

First thing first, this episode is coming out on the last day of Pride 2021, so let’s talk about some good things that happened this Pride Month.

Then we get into sloths, which are a weird animal that while can’t walk on the ground, and move slower than any other animal on the planet. Surprisingly, though, they are good swimmers. 

Two-toed sloths and three-toed sloths aren’t that closely related to each other and are only so similar due to Convergent evolution. Their ancestor, and the largest known sloth to ever exist, is the extinct ground sloth, which was as big as modern elephants. (Picture that). 

Listen now to learn about the curious Sloths, one of the strangest animasl of South America, and probably the world, too.
