The ground speed of a sloth



This is Ger again (on a side note, the yellow "sun" spot on his back indicates that he is male). He's quite the escape artist. I filmed him walking away so you can see what a sloth looks like out of the trees, and why they tend to avoid the ground in the wild. It puts them in a very vulnerable state!
