The fact that there's a lizard slow enough to get caught and eaten by a sloth is mind blowing.
when you look dead as a rock with moss growing on you, you have camouflage like a ninja
@Bryce Twyning turtle is what there reffering to. I think
@@MarmoMossBoll do you even know what your saying?
@@Mooffgamesgamer oui
Nature’s L
Sloth got nerfed very hard from their giant prehistoric ancestors.
You watch tierzoo too?
Went from one of the best builds in the game, to one of the worst ones.
@@iamtheonewhotalksbutyoucan5781 who doesn't?
humans suck
The sloth finally had a chance to retire after winning one of the world championships so they finally decided to settle down
Just a reminder giant ground sloths went extinct while tree sloths are somehow still around
Humans. We killed nearly every large mammal we found. Id be willing too bet some form of us took them down. No clue if we existed at the same time but i cant see anything other then a drastic climate change taking them out.
@@FeedMeSalt We killed almost all mega fauna like your said, and giant sloth died when we arrived to their land, so we killed them too
@@FeedMeSalt No... humans lived alongside mega fauna for a very long time. Too long to of made us the main reason.
@@FeedMeSalt yup. ground sloths went extinct shortly after humans arrived in south america, along with an entire order of ungulates, dire wolves, 2 species of cave bear, glyptodonts, and a fuckton of other things
@@domehammer i mean we also lived along side western black rhinos, southern black rhinos, and north Eastern black rhinos for a good while but we caused them to go extinct too.. so your point is completely foolish humans did cause them to go extinct it just took some time, can't kill every large animal in a day and all
I can never get enough of people absolutely shitting on sloths so that, hopefully, they can finally realize the problem and start working on it.
Nah sloths are gonna go extinct because they’re that dumb
Heres to hoping that there is a hidden ground sloth somewhere in the world still
@@justarandomcharizardonyout5056 Did you watch the video you're commenting on?
sloths were much more diversified before and some species were op like the giant ground sloths
@@brianisme6498 Humans are going to go extinct eventually as well. Possibly that will be because of the same reason.
Imagine going to the toilet and a murderer is, half of the time, waiting for you to do so
Imagine IT clown but this time they crawl through the toilet
They don’t die every second time they poop. But 50% of the times they get killed by predators, it’s because they pooped. That’s as if people pooping in the middle of the road were responsible for 50% of the traffic casualties.
@@nablamakabama488 Thats what i meant
Are you talking about Polnareff from JoJo?
Schrodinger's toilet?
Hummingbirds are another one that goes into torpor. In fact, hummingbirds do it for the opposite reason: their metabolisms are ridiculously fast. Since they literally live on sugar water, they burn through calories almost as fast as they consume them, meaning their lives are basically a constant search for food, and if they go without for too long, they go into torpor. It's actually the only way they sleep. They literally only have two speeds: off and on
they die if they go without food for 10 minutes straight, lol
He should do a video on hummingbirds next
@@xokotoni8685 Well, obviously they don't, lol. If you're interested, here's an article all about it, but the short of it is that torpor slows their metabolism enough that they wake up with enough energy to get them some breakfast.
www.fws.gov/nwrs/threecolumn.aspx?id=2147491782
Hummingbirds are native to most of the southern and coastal United States. If you put out a feeder you're practically guaranteed to get some. They especially like feeders because, again, their lives are spent constantly feeding, and any given flower patch is only in bloom for a couple of weeks, tops. Meanwhile, a feeder is always there and always full.
@@michealdrake3421 Makes you wonder, assuming humans stay around for long enough, if Hummingbirds will evolve to take advantage of feeders by becoming bulkier and less agile and just camp at the feeder. It would be funny if this led to these subspecies just evolving back to something that looks like a normal bird.
Oh, one more thing. If you put up a hummingbird feeder, don't use store bought nectar, especially the red stuff. The red dye is really bad for them. Instead, just boil some water in a pot and stir in sugar at a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part sugar. Any excess can be stored in the refrigerator
The fact that they haven't gone extinct is a miracle lol
you could say the same for humans :D
@@user-fje4ztx46no86 we have intelligence. So nope
@@youtubedeletedmyaccountlma2263 we are so smart, that we knowingly and willingly destroy what keeps us all alive. If that's not a cry for help...

@@guccibanana0910 the birds want your liver.
Why dont they just go do the bathroom when they fall, that would be two birds in one stone.
Imagine they fall so they take the time to go all the way up just to go right back down to poop. Then you get murdered by a Jaguar
It would only take one sloth to just not leave the tree to shit and he'd totally outcompete the others, hopefully spreading his genes
Maybe they're not feeling the need at the moment. Just like you don't poop everytime you enter the bathroom... I hope
@@konan8353 Apparently he'd be unable to find the girl sloths without going down the ground and smelling their shit to know when they're in the mood tho.
So am i straight, concluding that sloths do, then, indeed pee from the trees?
Seems a bit messier to oneself than loosing a dookie while hanging from a branch...I'm confused...feel like the vid left US hanging a little bit on the whole pee angle.🤷😅😂
You've heard of Elf on a Shelf... now get ready for Moth on a Sloth
so basically they’re the west hemispheres version of the koala lmao
Both are So shitty
Sloths are still better than koalas.
Koalas are the proof that God exists and therefore, must be consciously choosing for them to continue their existence.
No
At least koalas can actually defend themselves to a degree. Sloths literally can’t.
@@brianisme6498 Koalas are also somewhat fast, when they try to be
@@brianisme6498 ummm, you can see the scythes they have for claws, right? If you piss a sloth off, they can and will do damage.
I've been laughing for almost 15 minutes at that hilarious dumbass facial expression of the one sloth crawling around on the ground, this is absolute comedy lmaoooo
Funny moment my cats name is sebastian and when he said his name for the sloth he immediately came over and watched the video with me haha
Man... I still have nostalgia when Sloths used to be top tier in the tierlist.
I just miss ocean sloths
So basically, sloths are just a step above the people who leave their clothes in the drier for hours...in a shared laundromat.
Yeah, you know who this is about. Go get your clothes already.
*sigh* fineee I'll do it. Give me like 5 minutes
God looked at megatherium and said "no more"
@@commandergree but it is a giant ground sloth wich is what the joke is based on

@@madeleine3548 Hee haw, George Bailey!
Fun thing is, in german they are indeed named after the amount of their fingers
A survival strategy based on dumb luck, dum-de-dum, hope nothing bad happens cause I'm too cute to die. Actually, biting into a sloth sounds pretty unappetizing with up to a third consisting of simmering leaf stew and there isn't much meat on the bones. The meat is probably poor quality due to the diet and you have to fight your way through that nasty hair.
I'd say, it isn't worth the effort of pulling it out of the tree for tigers and human hunters alike, and hanging under the branches makes it hard for the harpies so they manage to get by under the radar.
Sloths are actually the biggest part of the harpy diet, although that doesn't mean it's their favorite.
"Gangly swampgremlin limbs" damn you didn't have to do him like that
"Scientists measure their spead not in miles/h but in feet/min."

@@AdamCorley316 So, literally almost the entire planet?
But hey, atleast they're not *Koalas*
Sloths! I don’t mind these ugly cute guys.
At least they don’t feed they’re babies poop like koalas do
@@brianisme6498 or poison themself every day 😂
@@dave_sic1365 koalas can actually digest the eucalyptus leaves. They’re the only one of 3 specie
@@brianisme6498 yeah, except eucalyptus literally provides no energy. Koalas eat a food that gives them no energy, and if you took a leaf off and put it on a plate, it would starve to death. Koalas are genuinely a failure at existence
Sloths: the most USELESS animals of all!
Pandas: "I take that personally!"
"Hey, have you seen Brenda lately? I heard she's been pooping alot lately" - *Other sloth* - "Hawt"
Thanks for explaining my biology also this took me 3 hours to write
Did you start writing the comment before the video was uploaded
If it took you 3 hours to right that. Did you explaining how long it took, took another hour or two!
Imagine having autocorrect on some day
In german we call a sloth „faultier“ - which means „lazy animal“
Jagwire, yes
No no no :(
A science channel that uses imperial units is always funny to me.
It's like NASA using a dollar store ruler to make their spaceship component measurements
I don't know why America is still using the imperial system rather than the metric one.
@@kentbenedict2005 costs too much to change and people are too used to imperial
@@mr.randomgamer888 Well.....countries that is still using it that is but oh well.....
@@kentbenedict2005 yeah, they actually tried to change before but nature was like "lol no" and sunk the ship they brought the measurements on in the old days
Had anyone ever tried to give a sloth caffeine?
I wonder if they like coca leaves.
Sloths are just animals that choose to change back to the plantkingdom
"this whole mobility thing is overrated"
We have a shit ton of animals that look like plants in the ocean
A couple of years ago in my History class, My Teacher (Mr. Wates) told me that Sloths were sent to earth by Aliens!
Thats a bad teacher if they actually LIE to their students man.
I wouldn’t be surprised,they’re bad at living on earth
please use the matrix system
Slohs travel at the speed of one nanoneo.
Low metabolic rate is EXACTLY the adaptation for a low nutrient diet...
its convenient that the sloth both need to poop and fall from the trees once a week
4:15 - Bruh, you destroyed the whole concept of veganism
Sloths are very interesting creatures. Somewhere I read that scientists and biologist study their skin because like mentioned in the video, they harbor a cocktail of bacteria and they don't get sick. This makes sloths valuable research for things like antibiotics. Sloths are my spirit animals
Slow, ugly, lazy but slightly useful
Spirit animal? Your delusional...
You can’t deny that sloths are cute though.
Would you still find them cute knowing that cockroaches and other insects live in their furs? The algae and fungi that grows on a sloth for camouflage creates the perfect environment for some insects to live in.
"Sloths are known to host an entire ecosystem of invertebrate species that are unique to sloth fur. It has been reported that, alongside the symbiotic fungi and algae that act as an effective form of camouflage, up to 950 moths, beetles, cockroaches and even worms can be found on an individual sloth. Some of these organisms are even endemic to the sloth-meaning they occur only on a sloth, and nowhere else!"

As a french person, I use metric and I can certify that Europe is indeed communist
As an Australian I can confirm we and our great kangaroo overlords are communist.
@@brianisme6498 what about the emus?
@@ultraviolet7838 the emus are the kangaroos foot soldiers. They’re the ones that keep the people in line. It’s why we lost a war to them.
Well..........half of Europe that is.
@@brianisme6498 so you now live in a kangaroo-ruled dictatorship?
Now I want an 'emotional support' sloth.....
2:58 c'mon, everybody knows that the international system is way better.
Sloths are failures at life. It’s honestly incredible that they haven’t gone extinct yet.
Another lovely secretion!
God when creating cheetah and sloth: aite guys let's split your speed 50-50
Sloth: oh yeah 50-50 sounds great, gimme 50
Cheetah: no, I don't think I will
This title is why I always lock the door while pooping.
I like how this channel is tongue in cheek like half as interesting but still stays on topic like wendover
Sloths are actually valiant saviors of our universe that are desperately trying to slow down entropy!
we often think of evolution as perfect yet weird and failed traits exist everywhere
Who would’ve thought that sloths out of all animals are cleaner than East Asian restrooms.
Sloths back then: giant behemoths that even Sabre tooths feared
Sloths now: *LITTERALY DIE WHILE DOING A SHI*
Could you please use the metric system aside from the imperial as well?
I'm American, I measure in metric, and I'm *not* communist.
@@pierreabbat6157 one step closer to Übermensch

Damn commies 😂
As someone named Sebastian I am now fully invested in this.
The way they crawl is adorable.
One of those was clearly a capabara.
Watching these clips of sloths is actually so relaxing
that slowness is anxiety inducing
The second the sloths weren't able to obtain theor giant ground sloth form they became bottom teir
I don't know how I found this channel, but I'm glad I did. This is informative AND hilarious! 😆
american logic
somebody: uses metric
american: you're a communist!
Well to be fair, every communist country on Earth does use the metric system.
American HUMOR, not logic. I'd recommend you watch through this video again, and observe how many times he makes blatantly false statements/jokes with an aim for making the video more humorous.
@@scottsnelling5610 It's unfunny, work on your humor guys. ;)
@@BootlegSounds Whether funny or not, it's humor not 'logic'. I found it amusing personally. If you don't like it, that's fine, but call it was it is, a bad joke, not dumb logic.
@@scottsnelling5610 Okay mister all-knowing. Now go to reddit and flex with your still about debating totally useless stuff 😀👍🏻
Love your videos, but could you include data in metric system at least as text on the screen ?
00:22 thanks forgot about my clothes in the dryer lol
I died at potty pilgrimage 🤣
I swear this is the happiest looking animal and it's the laziest
We laugh at the sloth now, but in a few hundred million years they'll probably be the first solar powered mammals subsisting only on the algae that grows on their backs
You can talk all you want but when he catches you with his razor-sharp claws and you'll be respecting the sloth
José Canseco once called Will Clark a three-toed sloth. I don't know why he made that particular distinction.
if scientists get a sloth and put it in a place without an exit to the ground, would they just hold it until they die or poop hanging
The best part about the video isn’t even the info, it’s the slow meandering background music 😂😂😂 fits so perfectly for a video on sloths
What’s the difference between predation and depredation? Both seem to mean killed by a predator. I’m assuming it’s like flammable and inflammable.
That thumbnail is golden
"... waiting for the next BioArk video to be ...secreted..." nice mental picture there SkidMark...
After watching this I am convinced Sloths were put on Earth to make Koala's look good!
Bestie I’m loving the more conversational vibe you have going here. It’s a nice contrast to RLL
*roasts sloths for 16 minutes straight*
Just saw a video about sloths dying from contaminating their water supply from pooping.
Please put the velocity also in the metric system :)
The opener kinda does sloths an injustice. They risk coming down from the trees to poop so they can bury it and hide their droppings from predators. They’re extremely sedentary, so if they just let their droppings fall underneath them it’d be an easy sign for predators to identify a free meal that won’t even fight back. Not only that, but the moss, mold, and general filth on a sloth’s pelt helps to dissuade predators from actually eating it because it tastes so disgusting. If it weren’t for their diet being so counter to their metabolisms, they’d be more like friendlier koalas just sleeping a lot but still able to move about relatively uninhibited.
Sloth : *Descends to ground to poop and dies from a predatoe*
Ground sloth ansectors : You're a disagree!
*predator

You're not really a nature channel until you've uploaded a video roastin' sloths
Congrats on your graduation lmao
"... they can resist jag-wires..."
Sounds like somebody had a bad experience at the local BMV
maybe they go down because they simply are bored with being high in trees and miss the contact/connection with the ground. or just suicidal from boredom...
Honestly the sloths are just a sily animal in every aspect
Goes down to poop becomes someone else's poop
From top tier to lowest of the low tier
FUN FACT: If you were a predator and ate a sloth that had descended to poop, your meal would be 33.333% sloth shit/pee and algae as well as quite a few ticks, moths, and other bugs. 🤢
this is going to be fun

Hey if your gonna fall out a tree once every week the least you can do is make sure you're not going to fall on your own poo.
A pretty high percentage of humans die pooping too- people often feel like they need to when they are about to have a heart attack . Sorry for being a bummer
