aww he is smiling!

4 Katrina 04.24.08 at 6:20 pm

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)

5 Fegli 04.24.08 at 6:25 pm

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

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….

11 Lizzy 04.24.08 at 6:40 pm

OMG Babeh McSlothersons!!! I must snorgle him NOWZ! (very…. slowly…. of…. course….)

12 zeldapie 04.24.08 at 6:43 pm

WANT

13 fish eye no miko 04.24.08 at 6:47 pm

I agree with the “seven deadly sins” idea! Would disapproving bunnies be anger?

Man, what a neat looking animal! More sloths, please!

14 Chocolate Chipped 04.24.08 at 6:49 pm

Awww, I want one!

15 pyrit 04.24.08 at 6:53 pm

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.

16 greenighs 04.24.08 at 6:58 pm

pyrit: I already knew that.
@_@

17 kelly 04.24.08 at 7:00 pm

awwwh. I loves the little sloffs. I can take home, please?

18 beaufolo 04.24.08 at 7:03 pm

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.

19 Barbara 04.24.08 at 7:04 pm

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.

20 michellemybelle 04.24.08 at 7:06 pm

I want the babeh! I must smooch him!

21 greenighs 04.24.08 at 7:07 pm

P.S. I was upside-down when I posted thiszzzzzz honkshu honkshuuuu

22 pyrit 04.24.08 at 7:13 pm

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.

23 morticiamom 04.24.08 at 7:17 pm

He looks like he is willing to be debauched. (Now we will see who reads Patrick O’Brien)

24 Osa Perezosa 04.24.08 at 7:19 pm

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:
http://urstinkymonkey.blogspot.com/2008/03/costa-rica-final-slothful-act.html

The cuteness is overwhelming. You have been warned. :)

25 pyrit 04.24.08 at 7:25 pm

Any time a sloth offers to read War and Peace to you, offer it a caramel apple.

26 Sprock 04.24.08 at 7:30 pm

pyrit, SROTFLMSAO

(Slowly rolling on the floor laughing my slothful a** off)

27 Babs 04.24.08 at 7:30 pm

Oh, I can see pyrit’s got her “Sloth Joke Book” out.

28 hey-h 04.24.08 at 7:40 pm

Oh!
My god!
What a cutie!

29 Trevor Hirst 04.24.08 at 7:49 pm

Wow! That girl has REALLY long arms… :)

30 chanpon 04.24.08 at 7:54 pm

*In booming, grave movie promo voice* No deadly sins, but deadly..CUTE!

31 Poohbear 04.24.08 at 7:58 pm

Sloooooootttthhhhhzzzzssssss!!! Lurve them. Reminds me of this cartoon http://www.cartoonistgroup.com/store/add.php?iid=7453

32 Theresa 04.24.08 at 7:58 pm

Sloth-sickie!

33 pyrit 04.24.08 at 8:06 pm

I had to call for a repairman the other day. Boy was I relieved when a sloth answered the phone.

34 Jessica S. 04.24.08 at 8:15 pm

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!

35 debg 04.24.08 at 8:16 pm

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.

36 Jessica S. 04.24.08 at 8:17 pm

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!

37 Gwenny 04.24.08 at 8:35 pm

I find sloths painful to watch. I just want to dose ‘em with Motrin. They look how I feel after a good workout…

38 Patty P 04.24.08 at 9:01 pm

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.

39 snusnu 04.24.08 at 9:05 pm

I want to nom that schnozz quite badly.

40 brinnann 04.24.08 at 9:10 pm

I r nawt deddleh, I r cuddleh.

41 Katerz 04.24.08 at 9:19 pm

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. ;-)

42 Aubrey 04.24.08 at 10:44 pm

“‘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…

43 pyrit 04.24.08 at 10:56 pm

“How doth the little sloth,…”
“quoth the sloth…”Nevermore”…”
Woah, a Goth sloth…

44 Catsquatch 04.24.08 at 11:05 pm

Now theres a pet I could keep up with.

45 Aubrey 04.24.08 at 11:28 pm

“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!”

46 sara 04.24.08 at 11:29 pm

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!!!!!!

47 pyrit 04.24.08 at 11:56 pm

Aubrey – Applauth! Applauth!

48 Laura M. 04.25.08 at 12:17 am

More sloths!

49 Gail 04.25.08 at 12:28 am

@pyrit & Aubrey: Wonderful gifts, your poetry!!

50 pyrit 04.25.08 at 12:43 am

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.

51 chacha 04.25.08 at 12:53 am

but there’s a freak factor here, folks … check the reversible feet and inch-long, curving talons of doom! sure, it’s cute NOW!!

52 Ing(red) 04.25.08 at 1:03 am

Target should start selling these, major buisness possibilites, i know i’d buy one!

53 rubber duck 04.25.08 at 1:09 am

OMG it’s a toy! A teddy bear! :O One of those really expensive antique teddy bears…you know the ones I mean?

54 caitlin 04.25.08 at 1:25 am

Awwwww. Not a sin, but DEFINITELY DEADLY!!! *thunk*

55 Arizona Child 04.25.08 at 2:24 am

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)

56 jane 04.25.08 at 2:27 am

that sloth took my breath away! literally

57 ashagato 04.25.08 at 3:16 am

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…

58 harlemgrrl 04.25.08 at 3:29 am

i want to give him a spidey kiss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_YN3oNXQKk

59 Ebby 04.25.08 at 4:04 am

Oh, but it IS a deadly sin! It’s deadly, sinfully cute!

60 binky-mama 04.25.08 at 4:44 am

He’s all “Oh hai!”

61 jmuhj 04.25.08 at 5:45 am

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

62 Subhangi 04.25.08 at 6:00 am

BEST. SIN. EVAR.

63 Hon Glad 04.25.08 at 6:34 am

A Sloth from Abroath
quoth his loth
for a Moth.

64 LisaL 04.25.08 at 7:52 am

*gasps*
Must resist snorgling the beleh and eskimo kissing the nozzle!!!
Sloths are just little cuties… babies and grown! I just love them!

65 mhm 04.25.08 at 8:24 am

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*

66 Fransouah 04.25.08 at 9:35 am

That’s it, when I come back I’m re-incarnating into one of those

67 Raemie L. 04.25.08 at 9:40 am

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*

68 Alice Shortcake 04.25.08 at 11:10 am

Sloth smiles are irrestistable – dolphins with fur!

69 Deleilan 04.25.08 at 11:43 am

Morticiamom & Debg: let’s debauch him and call him Lethargy!

70 Poohbear 04.25.08 at 12:34 pm

Hat off to Aubrey and Pyrit! and to everyone else for a heartwarming thread of comments. We wuuuuv slottthhhhhsssszzzzzzzz!!!

71 Jaye 04.25.08 at 2:42 pm

My coworkers are wondering why I’m turning upside down to look at my computer screen.

Maybe I should turn the screen instead?

72 pyrit 04.25.08 at 3:32 pm

Mr. Slothingfrosh doth brew a frothy broth.

73 brinnann 04.25.08 at 3:35 pm

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.]

74 Debbie 04.25.08 at 4:01 pm

OMG, that’s so ridiculously cute. I’m glad I found this site. This will make me smile and aww once a day.

75 ThreeCatNight 04.25.08 at 4:33 pm

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.

76 Rajarshi 04.25.08 at 4:36 pm

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I have him please?
Loved your blog, your posts and layout too.
Great stuff.

77 pyrit 04.25.08 at 4:37 pm

Oh yeah, like reverse-osmousis? (herm, sorry)

78 sarah 04.25.08 at 4:42 pm

you know what else doesn’t get enough love on this site?? more herps please!!!! (reptiles and amphibians)
they are my faaaaavorite unusual animal!

79 Gail 04.25.08 at 5:05 pm

Mention of the seven deadly sins reminds me of a great t-shirt I saw in Vegas: “Seven Deadly Sins…One Convenient Location”!

80 Catsquatch 04.25.08 at 5:10 pm

Wow, 10 am the next day and no new pics, this submission slowed everything really down…..

Now THATS one POWERFUL little SLOTH!!!!!

LOL!

81 Ashley Ladd 04.25.08 at 5:22 pm

What cute animal pics. Is the picture of the really big cat your cat or a picture you found?

82 Yes, my name is really Cricket 04.25.08 at 5:44 pm

“Sloth love Chunk!”
SQUEE!!! 2 qte!

83 milkfilledandroid 04.25.08 at 6:05 pm

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. :)

84 danceswithcrows 04.25.08 at 8:26 pm

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!

85 marsheeeee 04.25.08 at 9:11 pm

LOL Gail!!! I gotta get me one of those tee shirts. How much more cuddly can a deadly sin get, I ask you?

86 brinnann 04.25.08 at 9:24 pm

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/

87 Gail 04.25.08 at 10:49 pm

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!!!

88 Gail 04.25.08 at 10:50 pm

Oops, 1 “n” short of a Brinnann! SORRY!

89 Quinn 04.25.08 at 11:14 pm

I yuv him.

90 Loubee 04.26.08 at 8:32 am

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*

91 Sloth of Panama 04.26.08 at 3:36 pm

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 =(

92 Emily 04.27.08 at 6:13 pm

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)

93 A 04.27.08 at 10:01 pm

SHHHHHHHHHHH wee slothy………..shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

AWWWWWW…………wee little lovey!!

94 Serena 04.28.08 at 8:03 am
