Jessica S., I think he’s smiling.
Slothfully cute!
bleenth ^_^
aww he is smiling!
Is that a two-toed or a three-toed sloth? Apparently it matters in their future demeanor and attitude toward Hoo-Mans.
But it is oh, so cuuuuuute.
Is this in a zoo-zoo-zoo?
(Ah the earworms are starting!! he-he)
Awww… awwww!!! Awwwwwwwww < -- my actual outloud comments upon seeing this picture :)
P.S. He’s definitely smiling. That’s what makes sloths so endearing. <3
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! oh please gimmie, gimmie oh please gimmie the sloth oh please oh please oh please!!!!

“I Like You Better Upside-Down”
http://teho.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c2252668128e1d00c2252696ee8e1d.html
I vote for a “seven deadly sins” day with this little fellah, and the big ol’ cat for gluttony and a cats-n-racks for lust….
OMG Babeh McSlothersons!!! I must snorgle him NOWZ! (very…. slowly…. of…. course….)
WANT
I agree with the “seven deadly sins” idea! Would disapproving bunnies be anger?
Man, what a neat looking animal! More sloths, please!
Awww, I want one!
It is a little known fact, that sloths invented Now and Laters. We can also thank the sloth for Christmas Fruit Cake, and Chapstick, and that jar of mint jelly in the back of your fridge.
pyrit: I already knew that.
@_@
awwwh. I loves the little sloffs. I can take home, please?
Baby sloths are ok. Full grown sloths don’t qualify as cute. They have moss and little bugs living in their fur as they don’t really groom themselves and they have a tendency to pee all over themselves. They only descend from the trees to have a poop but they often get covered with that too. But the babies are cute, while they’re moss and poop-free.
I would really like to have him as a pet. He could have his own room; he’d just have to hang out with me (or on me)every day.
I want the babeh! I must smooch him!
P.S. I was upside-down when I posted thiszzzzzz honkshu honkshuuuu
You can always tell a nervous sloth; their nails are chewed to the quick. I saw one, hanging out, at Starbucks last week. Upside-downing double espressos and still couldn’t keep up with its internet connection.
He looks like he is willing to be debauched. (Now we will see who reads Patrick O’Brien)
Slothios! I lurve them and have submeeted them to you a few times, but they never made CO.
:’( < ---- Me snurffling
I have lots of pics here:

The cuteness is overwhelming. You have been warned.
Any time a sloth offers to read War and Peace to you, offer it a caramel apple.
pyrit, SROTFLMSAO
(Slowly rolling on the floor laughing my slothful a** off)
Oh, I can see pyrit’s got her “Sloth Joke Book” out.
Oh!
My god!
What a cutie!
Wow! That girl has REALLY long arms…
*In booming, grave movie promo voice* No deadly sins, but deadly..CUTE!
Sloooooootttthhhhhzzzzssssss!!! Lurve them. Reminds me of this cartoon http://www.cartoonistgroup.com/store/add.php?iid=7453
Sloth-sickie!
I had to call for a repairman the other day. Boy was I relieved when a sloth answered the phone.
This is at a sloth rescue center in Talamanca, Costa Rica. We actually found this little bebeh while we were walking in–turns out she lost her mother! (er, her mother lost her…) Her name is now Miss Vicky and she, along with all the other sloths we met, were absolutely adorable and friendly!
Morticiamom, you beat me to it! I was totally going to debauch that sloth! It may be the best line in an incredibly good (and long) series of novels.
Hey Osa Perezosa!
We were staying in Puerto Viejo too–its gorgeous, although its gotten really built up since I was last there 8 years ago. So many great sloths everywhere!
I find sloths painful to watch. I just want to dose ‘em with Motrin. They look how I feel after a good workout…
Sloth is saying to girl, “Bring that nose on ovah here. I need sumpin’ bettah to hang on.” Zzzzzzz.
Sloth grabs offered nose.
Girl squees in fright, waving hands in air.
Man takes back sloth as girl glares at him. Man loses pouints and any chance of a date.
I want to nom that schnozz quite badly.
I r nawt deddleh, I r cuddleh.
For further amusement, look up the SNL digital short, SLOTHS! It’s hard to find — NBC doesn’t like people to know how funny the show can be.
“‘Twas brilliant, and the slothy toes
Did grab and grasp and
wave
All flimsy were the
vines and groves
And the long paths
weren’t paved”
Can’t do any more; I’m at work and am very sleepy…
“How doth the little sloth,…”
“quoth the sloth…”Nevermore”…”
Woah, a Goth sloth…
Now theres a pet I could keep up with.
“How doth the little sloth did smile
And improve his shining nails,
And with the greatest care
he’d file
Each one without fail!
With cheer he swings from limb to limb,
Defying Newton’s laws,
And welcomes peeps to observe him,
With gently smiling jaws!”
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!
This totally made my day! sloths are my favorite animals EVAR and this baby sloth is just itching to be cuddled and hugged and squished!!!!!!
Aubrey – Applauth! Applauth!
More sloths!
@pyrit & Aubrey: Wonderful gifts, your poetry!!
In the Garden of Eden, when the Sloth’s Savings & Loan was held up, the robbers shouted, “Nobody move!” …the sloths have never quite gotten over it.
but there’s a freak factor here, folks … check the reversible feet and inch-long, curving talons of doom! sure, it’s cute NOW!!
Target should start selling these, major buisness possibilites, i know i’d buy one!
OMG it’s a toy! A teddy bear! :O One of those really expensive antique teddy bears…you know the ones I mean?
Awwwww. Not a sin, but DEFINITELY DEADLY!!! *thunk*
What the heck is he holding onto? Thin air? Jessica is SO right. Sloths are totally under appreciated ’round these parts. Let’s give them the love they so rightly deserve, mmmkay? (Okay maybe not ALL the appreciation they so TOTALLY deserve. Must save a little space for all the other deserving cuties)
that sloth took my breath away! literally
love the 7 deadly sins idea. love the sloth restaurant cartoon lol. love the sloth pix Osa Perezosa. totally agree w/ your comments about Puerto Viejo and east coast. next time def check out Tortuguera if you like sloths and monkeys…
i want to give him a spidey kiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_YN3oNXQKk
Oh, but it IS a deadly sin! It’s deadly, sinfully cute!
He’s all “Oh hai!”
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
BEST. SIN. EVAR.
A Sloth from Abroath
quoth his loth
for a Moth.
*gasps*
Must resist snorgling the beleh and eskimo kissing the nozzle!!!
Sloths are just little cuties… babies and grown! I just love them!
hrm, the baby one is cute and sweet…the bigger ones are quite odd and a little creepy to me though *hides under blanket – frightened of the adult sloths*
That’s it, when I come back I’m re-incarnating into one of those
I’m tilting my head, like the lady in the pic, and squeeing at the shiny eyes, the little ‘smile’ and the leetle claws. At least for me, the urge to do a head tilt feels almost unavoidable when looking at this pic. I feel like a sloth. I’m doing sloth stretchingks into Friday over here. *arms flail in slow motion*
Sloth smiles are irrestistable – dolphins with fur!
Morticiamom & Debg: let’s debauch him and call him Lethargy!
Hat off to Aubrey and Pyrit! and to everyone else for a heartwarming thread of comments. We wuuuuv slottthhhhhsssszzzzzzzz!!!
My coworkers are wondering why I’m turning upside down to look at my computer screen.
Maybe I should turn the screen instead?
Mr. Slothingfrosh doth brew a frothy broth.
Jaye, you can right-click on your desktop, choose Graphics Options > Rotation > 180 and it’ll flip your screen, or it might just be your desktop that changes, not sure. In any case, it’s a great trick to play on your cow orkers’ computers, especially since they’ll have to move the mouse in reverse to fix it.
[Unless this particular orker of cows is clever enough to realize that all s/he needs to do is temporarily turn the mouse around, too... - Ed.]
OMG, that’s so ridiculously cute. I’m glad I found this site. This will make me smile and aww once a day.
I’ve never seen a picture of a sloth that I’d qualify as “cute”, but this sweet little babeh fits the bill so nicely.
Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I have him please?
Loved your blog, your posts and layout too.
Great stuff.
Oh yeah, like reverse-osmousis? (herm, sorry)
you know what else doesn’t get enough love on this site?? more herps please!!!! (reptiles and amphibians)
they are my faaaaavorite unusual animal!
Mention of the seven deadly sins reminds me of a great t-shirt I saw in Vegas: “Seven Deadly Sins…One Convenient Location”!
Wow, 10 am the next day and no new pics, this submission slowed everything really down…..
Now THATS one POWERFUL little SLOTH!!!!!
LOL!
What cute animal pics. Is the picture of the really big cat your cat or a picture you found?
“Sloth love Chunk!”
SQUEE!!! 2 qte!
Cute with an aptitude for dangling, arg! if bouncing magnifies the cute, dangling puts cute through the roof! imagine if baby chicks and kitties could dangle, we’d be done for! can sloths bounce too? are they double threat?
cheers aubrey + pyrit, enjoyed the poetry.
OK, this is what I came up with for a “seven deadly sins of Cute”. Every picture mentioned has appeared on this site somewhere. I’m sorry that I can’t make links to each one:
Sloth– this guy!
Gluttony– fat cat a few posts below
Greed– 2 guinea pigs, one white, one brown, white one steals brown one’s carrot. June 19, 2006.
Envy– cat occupies dog bed, peeved-looking dog scrunches up in cat bed. Feb. 19, 2006.
Wrath– any random disapproving bunny
Lust– one of the cats’n'racks pictures, or possibly a hedgehog’n'rack?
Pride– Winston!
LOL Gail!!! I gotta get me one of those tee shirts. How much more cuddly can a deadly sin get, I ask you?
Theo, not all of us work in very techy offices. We had one cow orker do it to another’s computer, and they had NO idea what the heck happened. Verra entertaining.
And on that note, you must check out this linky that Laney sent me: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8c52/
cow orker: Someone that annoys cows? Black and white seal??? Cow that says “ork, ork, ork” while balancing a ball on it’s nose?
I think we have a new slang word for the peeps we all work with—orker!
Thanks, Brinann!!!
Oops, 1 “n” short of a Brinnann! SORRY!
I yuv him.
Hurrah for sloths!
I’m going to Costa Rica in a month and am so excited about seeing some sloths.
This little guy will keep me going until then *hugs for the sloth*
Osa Perezosa – I have submitted sloth pics too. It is a baby sloth that we were able to feed and touch. Very very very cute. =( CO hasn’t posted it yet =(
I love sloths they are so underrated and SOO adorable!
In a previous relationship i was petnamed sloth baby. Even though I despise that guy now I still love that pet name (not that I’m called it anymore)
SHHHHHHHHHHH wee slothy………..shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
AWWWWWW…………wee little lovey!!
The cutest photograph I’ve seen all day.
I MUST HAVE ZEEE SLOTHEY!!!! I VILL MAKE HEM SOUP. HE VILL HAVE HIS OWN ROOM AND VILL LOVE ME MUCH. I MUST GIVE HIM SMOOCHIEZZZ!
