A Sloth Treats Some Guy

Alright - on the first sniff, I didn't like this. It started off with a strongish damp hay/moss smell, but - and this is key - wait for 2 minutes. If you don't, you will miss out on a treat. Sloth is a mixture of scent 'families'. It's half florally green and half woody (to me), but it's not like anything I've smelled before.

There are quite a few videos online that feature easy going, wide eyed sloths. The adorable slow moving creatures are loved by many people the world over and it’s easy to see why. They’re always well behaved and very docile, gentle, and non-aggressive in their mannerisms and movements.

There's no way that travel can be stressful when accompanied by the ultimate product of relaxation! Treat yourself to a laid back Kigu Sloth Neck Pillow in cream and light brown with a cute button nose, big wide eyes and four stubby claws on each paw curled delightfully around your neck. While The Sloth is a mostly functional adult, sticking with this guy will suck the life out of you. The longer you stay the more he’ll take the wind out of your sails and keep you both floating aimlessly in the doldrums.

It’s in their nature to be sheepish but sometimes the furry little creatures just want to cuddle up close with a warm body and be loved, like the one in this clip.

The video was captured at the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica, a special place that offers visitors a chance to get up close and personal with the sloths that live there. One of the visitors who had gone to see the residents and interact with them gingerly offered up a colorful Hibiscus flower to one of the sloths.

The flowers are a tasty treat that sloths love, but the one in the video was more interested in the lady than the yummy snack. The adorable animal slowly made her way over to the woman and paused to smell the pink flower, then kept going until she was in a spot where she could climb into the woman’s arms.

Ever so slowly the sloth extended her legs towards the delighted woman until she was in her arms hugging her! The friendly sloth definitely made the woman’s day, she couldn’t stop smiling, and it looks like everyone there was happy as could be!

The Sloth Sanctuary is devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sick or injured sloths who call the country’s rain forests home. They also run a variety of research and education programs which aim to promote respect and understanding of the gentle animals.

Many people are misinformed about sloths and part of the reason why is the negative associations people assume about them based off their name. Sloths got their unflattering name due to the fact that they move so slowly.

However, they are built for this and are not the lazy, sluggish, lethargic mammals that many often view them as. Sloths only move when necessary because they need to conserve as much energy as possible due to their diet consisting of mainly leaves.

Leaves provide little energy and are hard to digest, which is why sloths have specialized stomachs that slowly break down leaves. It often takes them a month or more to completely digest the contents of their stomachs.

Other ways in which they conserve energy include low metabolic rates and low body temperatures, and of course, slow paced movements. Sloths are wonderful, fascinating creatures and one of nature’s sweetest animals.

Check out the video to see how kind and gentle they truly are, and fall in love with them.

Parents in the processof toilet training will be excited about Trade Me’s toppick this year, the Gotta Go Flamingo. “This little guy isthe perfect companion for any toddler learning how to usethe toilet. The interactive, bright pink Flamingo talks,sings, dances, eats, and poops. All you have to do is feedhim his magic food and wait.”

Miss Silvester saidnext on Trade Me’s list is Fifi, the Flossing Sloth.“Flossing is undeniably the hottest dance move of the yearand what better buddy to practise with than a bright purplesloth. The battery-powered toy dances to three differentsongs for hours of flossing fun.

“Another soughtafter animal this year are Present Pets. Unboxing has been ahuge trend over the past few years and these wee crittersactually unbox themselves! And with two possible dogsinside, part of the fun is not knowing which one you’llget until it climbs out of the box.”

Miss Silvestersaid another dog that made the list this year is the FurRealPoopalots Big Wags Dog. “Yet another pooping toy, feedthis puppy treats and he will start to do his business asyou walk him leaving a trail of poop nuggets behind.Luckily, he comes with his own poop scooper forcleanups.

“Another favourite this year is theHatchimals Pixie.” Miss Silvester said Kiwi kids of the90s might remember Sky Dancers Fairy Flyers; The fairy toythat would spin and ‘fly’ a short distance with a pullcord. “This Christmas, Hatchimals have made a pixie toythat can actually fly. Charge up your pixie using a USB, andyour little one will love chasing her around.”
