On the small island of Escouto, off the coast of Panama, there are many three-toed sloths, which are their home. In the island's mangroves, you're sure to see an animal crawling slowly through the trees. Its four legs have three long claws, a pair of dark eye bags, don't think it's a panda, and its white eyebrows that cover its forehead and its smile at you, it's probably a sloth.
The sloth's job for a day is, of course, to find food, but its food is also very simple, and the leaves of the mangrove forest, including the leaves of other plants, happen to be its food, and yes, it is vegetarian. Such food is readily available on the small island of Escouto. And if the sloth stays in the tree for a long time, and it is impossible to reach it, then it is also possible to climb two more steps. As for why it stayed in the tree, in addition to knowing its name, another possibility is that it climbed too slowly. Staying in the tree is just to be closer to the food, lest when hungry, you die on the way to find food because you climb too slowly. There is another more practical reason, that is, to avoid natural enemies, it is better to stay in the tree and be safer.
Searching for food every day, though is a daily routine in quantities. But the most important task is to find the other half to ensure the reproduction of the race. Because there are only a few hundred pygmy three-toed sloths on the small island of escudo, it is likely that the number will decrease in the future.
Pygmy three-toed sloth in the water
An adult male pygmy three-toed sloth, slowly climbing on a tree, it needs a mate, but it has been searching for a long time without any gain. At this moment, the voice of a female pygmy three-toed sloth was heard not far away, which was relatively loud at first and gradually weakened in the process of elongation. The male pygmy three-toed sloth was attracted by this sound, and his eyes shone brightly, as if he had some idea. It began to move its limbs, spread its full power, and crawled out in the direction of the sound, and it is estimated that the soul had already floated over there. But it soon ran into obstacles, and in front of it was a deep water, and the beloved girl was on the other side of the water. I thought that this guy would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but I didn't expect that he wanted to burn himself, but he let go of the deep water and swam desperately to the opposite bank. It can be seen that this cold sea water has not been able to extinguish the fire of desire in its heart. Don't look at its limbs are not very flexible when crawling on the tree, but in the water it is much more flexible, the front palm strokes and kicks, like the swimming champion, there is a look. If you've ever seen lions and dogs swimming in the water, don't mention how much they look alike.
Female sloths and small sloths
With great effort, the male pygmy three-toed sloth finally came to the opposite bank, and it quickly climbed up the branch, came to a high place, and saw where the beloved girl was. It looked left and right, and finally saw the girl of its dreams in another tree, and whistled at the girl, wanting to talk to her. But when it takes a closer look, the female sloth still has a baby in her arms, and the female sloth with the cub will generally not fall in love with the male sloth at this time, unless it will not start a new love life after the grove grows up and leaves. To ask about the inner activities of this male sloth at this time, it is estimated that it is overturned, but a gentleman like it will not be difficult for a strong sloth. After sending blessings to the beloved girl, it left silently.
The so-called crossing the ocean to find you, and you already have a heart.
