It’s International Sloth Day! You can go full Kristin Bell
and meltdown watching the adorable xenarthrans compete in the Sloth Ironman Games. The proceeds go towards sloth rescue and rehabilitation. Or you can embrace the spirit of the Halloween season with Slotherhouse, available to stream on Hulu.
Both look like stupid fun.
Here’s to the start of a great weekend, DeadSplinters!
Ice Age giant sloths died in a pit of their own poop
I didn’t realize the Republican Party was that old.
Hahaha, they are fouling up their own party.

Wow, they’re always smiling but it really did look like it waved!

I’m here to serve. It really does look ridiculous. I might watch it tonight.
Some sloths hold their poop for a week or more before descending from the trees to let loose, and can drop as much as a third of their body weight.

I stayed at a great resort called Tullamore Bungalows in CostaRica and saw more wildlife there than the rest of the trip. There were sloths all over the place. And I saw a couple climbing down the trees. Their stomachs were huge like they were pregnant but they really just needed to poop. They are very cute animals.
