Cold joke dividing line
In the Shanghai Zoo, there is also a pair of sloths, who live on the first floor of the primate district of the park. Many people's first acquaintance with sloths is derived from the "lightning" of the characters in "Zootopia", but the sloths exhibited in the Shanghai Zoo are not exactly the same as the "lightning", "lightning" is a three-toed sloth, and the two-toed sloth is exhibited in the park.

Why call them sloths?
Green Rongjun
Because they are strict arboreals, live in the canopy of tropical rainforests and have fully adapted to this upside-down life on the trees.
Not only that, but "laziness" is also their characteristic. They sleep up to 15 hours a day and only wake up at night to eat. Usually tourists come to shanghai zoo during the day to visit, this time sloths are generally enjoying its dreams, they usually love to stay in the cage next to the heating next to the trees to sleep, occasionally wake up to see everyone, yawn, scratch the itch, and immediately fall asleep.
A little cute (✪ω✪)
Sometimes it's dark, and sloths wake up early, look at their food baskets, and when they find their favorite corn, they crawl slowly along the trees, moving up to 6 centimeters per second even at full speed. When you reach the target position, slowly extend your front paws to hook the food and eat slowly.
I'm sorry to put it down The correct way to open it should be like this ↓
"Eat corn!"
All the actions of sloths seem to us to be putting "slow motion", but in case of danger, they will also do their best to protect themselves from aggression, long and sharp claws are their best weapons, this thick fur can also make small and medium-sized predators unable to mouth.
