Thank you, JonTron for raising awareness of the Sloth slander that’s apparently been going on for years. I will not stand for this.
I won't stand for this sloth slander.
You mean you won't hang around just to listen to trash talk
There used to be giant 20 foot tall sloths, imagine how cute and terrifying they were.
That's one way to avoid avian predation!
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist. dude chill - not the time or place for proselytizing
Apparently they tasted good but were indeed dangerous to hunt from historic reports
@@pele914 they also dug massive caves that are still around today
JonTron brought me here. Stop bullying sloths.
Seeing a sloth in the wild was one of my most memorable experiences while visiting Costa Rica.
I'm so jealous! 😭 Must have been so awesome!
@@SusanKay-Don't be jealous. Go visit! It is worth whatever sacrifice you have to make.
Can’t think of a better way to start the year than to watch a real sloth hugging a sloth stuffed animal omg that was amazing ❤
reported for bullying sloths
Sloths are wonderful 🦥
Came over from JonTron slander 60 Minutes. To paraphrase a documentary, "The people behind 60 minutes are bafoons and sloths. Because you did 0 research."
Always good to see someone passionate about wildlife like she is. Great piece.
Yeah she is contagious with her enthusiasm. Has wit, is and smart.
I was just thinking on how do Sloths live. Still don't see how they are not killed by predators or hunted by things like Jaguars.
They do get preyed upon
Stop bullying sloths
Lovely story with a proper lesson at the end. Convenience is incredibly bad for all of us.
This sloth segment surely “adds to the richness of the universe”! Love seeing nature-themed episodes on 60 Minutes.
I scrolled right over your comment as she said it.
The sloth 🦥 smiling face is a treat for the eyes, sweet little species. Thanks to this dedicated group of people.
Wonderful creatures 😍
Sloths are not B-listers, put some respect on Sid's descendants
(Yes, i just came from the JT video, no I will not elaborate)
i love sloths, there is just something about them. probably the smile :-).
60M Years? They've been existing!! I feel humbled as a human being.
My spirit Animal
🦥🦥🦥🦥🦥🦥
they are so cute hugging that stuffed sloth
Slow and awesome. The Ultimate Couch 🛋️ Potato 🥔. My kind of people.
Sharyn is a riot! The sloths are adorable.
I think sloths are pretty hard working little fellas. I think they move slow to make themselves harder to spot. They're stealthy rather than lazy.
Wonderful animals and passionate researchers. Great reporting.
Why you hating on the sloth ?
I will not stand for Sloth slander.
this was not only great journalism it was FUN!!!
If I was in nature this would be my ultimate form
Congratulations, you get into reincarnate into a sloth in your next lifetime.
What INFECTIOUS enthusiasm.
My spirit animal.
After watching this, I'm pretty sure that I have a significant amount of sloth DNA in my system.
I KNOW my son does😂😂😂😂
Nah.
Devoid of the crutches of civilisation and technology humans are pretty active by default.
During the ice age when food was at its most scarce humans were ranging around all year long just to keep fed.
Brilliant episode
Sloths are super cool. Must be protected.
I am 67. When I was 5 my grandpa gave me his precious taxidermied Three Toad 🦥 sloth.
I shared it every year throughout Elementary School. Still have it.
Oh that is so cool
I put them in the cute category. Beautiful creature and to be appreciated. Life is not all about the hustle and bustle. Slow down and enjoy life.
It’s almost like the “regular media” has a conspiracy against these lovable guys…..😢
I ❤ soths
JonTron sent me here
I love her passion for wildlife and her sense of humor! What an extraordinary woman!
Amazing video! Not only informative but entertaining; Lucy has an enviable passion for these creatures and others. So very thankful this dedication exists in this world 🙏🏾🔆
we moved to Panama from the U.S. a year and a half ago. We've yet to see sloths, but so happy they are here,
You can see them on Isla Colon in Bocas del Toro.
you can also go to the Parque Natural Metropolitano, just saw one on the wild today.
Merry Christmas everyone ⛄
Such an amazing animal, with so much to teach us.
She got that right. We are extremely obsessed with speed.
I guess that's why I'm obsessed with the Dodo. If they ever come back into existence, I’d love to see them in person.
Great info from a great video. Lucy is a great woman The world is a better place with her in it. Sincere thanks. A great 2024.🎉
They take life at their own pace...❤❤❤
How dare you make a hit piece on these beautiful creatures
Huge fan of this segment on sloths
JonTron did a thing.
“The richness of the universe” ❤
I love them. Thank you for this!
What a great story. Thank you!
Love these precious sweet little one's
Just gave my new nephew in law a stuffed sloth with a red hoodie that says sloth mode. The family thought I shouldn't give to him but it was the only gift I gave him that he took home, left the rest🤣
Thank you so much for this information on sloths and climate change. I love sloths and almost every other animal, so it is disturbing to hear their predicament, but perhaps, as people realize what we’re doing to the other life on earth, they will work harder to fight climate change.
Calm down, already. It's just a theory. Not established science.
this sloth expert has a lot of charisma
Interview with a sloth? "Sloth what do you have to say for yourself?"
They're not B list, they're not even S list; they deserve their own god tier ABOVE S!
I loved this! Thank you. ❤
Who doesn't love Sloths?❤
My spirit animal is a sloth.
4:03 "They scream in D#"
*proceeds to scream in A*
Sloths are the cutest and coolest animals!!💕❤️🥰
Justice for Sloths. End this Sloth slander.
JonTron brought me here
It’s impressive how docile and tolerant of handling these sloths are. Most animals would hiss aggressively or try desperately to get away
I've have my days at work I tell my coworkers 'I'm in sloth' mode. Think they are my spirit animal. 😂
Excellent video ❤ thank you so much for sharing 🙏
I love costa rica. It is my favorite country by far. The wild life is out of this world. It is like living in a zoo.
Thank you for uploading this.
Beautiful!
Total. Spirit. Animal.
And her post Darwin ideas are intriguing, look forward to her book! 👍
Thanks for this lesson.
❤❤❤. SLOTHS
MERRY
XMASS🏥🙏🇺🇲🪖🫡🌎🫀🎺🕊️❤️🔥🌲⛄
Back at ya👋😂 Merry Christmas !!!
How could I not click on this? 😢
They're adorable 🥰🥰🥰
Great show great guest keep it up sir they are listening thanks
I was troubled by your use of the word “explorers” to describe conquistadors. It literally means “conquerors” and their legacy is not one of exploration but of genocide.
I wish the sloth was a zodiac sign lol
Love those critters
God created a beautiful animal with the sloth 🦥 The koala 🐨 bear is another adorable creature. ❤
2:35 me trying to run in my dreams
Either the Sloth having been around so long, proof it is okay to be one, or else I feel for them, iconic in the dregs of our adjectives.
With the urRu, Mystics of the Dark Chrystal, will I associate them instead.
Sloth sloth mo sloth.. Banana fana fo floth.. Me mi mo mloth.. Sloth!! 😊❤
I really liked this 60 Minutes: All about the sperm whale, monkeys, and the sloth.
Really interesting 👍
Snakes aren’t poisonous - they’re venomous. Poison is something you ‘ingest’ (drink), venom is something you ‘inject’ (snake bite). Duh…
My spirit animal
1:29 I can watch her be that excited over and over again :-)
@60minutes
Suggestion for improvement:
It would have been nice, if you had also shown the dark-skinned man, including his face, who helped climb barefoot to get the sloths from the ant-infested trees. I think it's a sign of respect to show all the helpers involved and at least briefly interview them. :-)
Positive Feedback:
Very interesting and informative documation. Thank you very much for your work.
A half mile an hour is being extremely generous
be nice to the sloths!
out of all the things you could have made a hitpiece on, you choose sloths?
1:10 “poisonous snakes”? Don’t you mean VENOMOUS? You would think a news source with an animal expert at their disposal wouldn’t get things so wrong..
I thought those were baby sloths not bats.
4:18 That is not D sharp. That is A sharp (aka B flat).
I don't know why I got so upset about the sloths being harmed by the power lines. It's so depressing how us humans find a way to harm everyone else
My spiritual animal.
what a beautiful story
Everyone please watch the 30 seconds after 3:52 for the funniest thing on the internet
Hard hitting news we needed
