In this amusing and entertaining clip from the BBC's Life of Mammals, David Attenborough looks at the life of a sloth. The sloth has adapted to the lack of nutrition in its diet of leaves by hanging around not doing very much at all. We even get to see one moving at high speed!

Damn, imagine going about your day then someone says “boo” and just starts roasting you

he replied in one hour to that boo.. and said

“Half blind, half deaf. Thats what happens when all you eat is leaves.”
Vegans: FUUUUU-
What about cows? All they eat is grass.
@@L.Spencer cows are dumb as a post and mostly made of stomach.
Including Vegetarians lol 😆
@@MediumRareOpinions but cows aren't half blind and half deaf and they can move fast. Just because sloths eat only leaves doesn't hold up. What about Pandas? They eat only bamboo.
@@L.Spencer it's really about nutrient density of the food. A species can grow larger and consume more total nutrients, become less metabolically active and require less nutrients or change nutrient source to something more energy dense.
Sloths being adapted for life in the trees weren't really able to grow any larger or heavier, and for whatever reason couldn't or didnt want to change their diet so they had to slow down all the metabolic activity in their body to compensate.
There are usually multiple branches that evolution developed down with different solutions to common problems.
Just imagine how scary sloths would be if they could move really fast
True
Especially with that sharp claw :3
Muliply that fear if the sloth is wet
Some sloths were as big as a T-Rex or an Elephant, but they were also slow, so I guess that’s no so scary.
뿡뿡! ^__^ They are now extinct though.
Nature: "Survival of the fittest"
Sloths: "Hold my beer"
They are very well fitted to their environment.
Hold my bear
Rather "Hold my weed".
hold my leaves
@Pedro Gunderson But from what i heard, sloth's meat tastes like shit, and thus no predator would ever come close to it. Could be wrong tho
Why a sloth descends a tree to defecate is not a mystery. It's called manners.
This slayed me lmao
he probably does that because he's basically ' feeding ' the tree back... and doesnt want to go to another tree... duuuh
No, it's actually called manures.
You don't poop where you eat.
Maybe cause it’s quieter ( if that’s a word )instead of crashing to the ground where predators may hear
"It spends it's time hanging around half asleep"
