Sloths are animals few people really appreciate. Being who I am, I had accepted a dare around Valentine's Day this year to buy a giant sloth stuffed animal. Since then, I've had a love for sloths that can't be compared to anything. I've dedicated literally hours to watching sloth videos and searching google for what kind of permit I need to have a pet sloth in Indiana. So, here are my ten reasons to show you why you should love sloths just as much as I do (because it isn't possible to love them more than I do).
1. Baby sloths are the cutest animal to exist.
Look at these babies. Look at that face. Look at that nose. They just want some love and some warm hugs.
2. Sloths represent college students.
Sloths know how to sleep. They sleep an average of 15-18 hours a day. They sleep more than they are awake. They love sleep more than a college student and that's hard to achieve. Also, look how cute that face is.
3. Sloths are gentle animals.
Now maybe it's just me, but I love hugs. Like, I love hugs. This cat doesn't look very comfortable, but this sloth accurately represents anyone who just loves to hug people. Everyone has that one friend who hates hugs, right? That cat is that friend and I am the sloth.
4. Sloths swim better than most people.
I know sloths are meant to be in a tree, but look. Just look at this majestic creature. I've met people who can't swim at all and look at this sloth go. He's got this. He could keep up with the Olympic swimmers at this rate. Beat that.
5. Sloths swim better than they can walk.
I admire the sloth and it's motivation to try to walk, it's just creepy. I for one, laugh at this. But apparently, it's not common for someone to watch videos of sloths walking at 3 am and just laugh. Is it just me who does that? Yes? Okay.
6. Sloths understand stress.
Sloths know what's up. They know when to give up, even if it's not on purpose. I guess the amount of sleep they get doesn't matter because they still can't tell the difference between a tree branch and their arm.
7. Sloths know how much effort they have to use.
Let's be honest, we all try to find a short cut to things. The sloth just so happens to know all the best short cuts, however, I would rather not eat leaves. I'll let the sloths do that and I'll stick to my pizza rolls thank you.
8. Even though the sloths are lazy, they know how to motivate.
Nothing motivates me more than this. A baby sloth telling me to follow my dreams? Just too cute.
9. Sloths are the best animal.
If you still don't like sloths, go watch a video about sloths on youtube or somewhere else. Look up sloth memes because I'm telling you this, everyone can relate to the majestic sloth.
