На обратном пути со смотровой площадки Cerro Ancon встретил ещё и ленивца(трехпалого). И он даже проявил активность - спустился с дерева. Когда я уходил(время поджимало), он оставался сидеть под деревом. А было бы интересно посмотреть, как он по земле передвигается.

Jefferson's ground sloth has arrived at my local library!

We found a very special visitor to the farm this morning.

Moments like these fill our sails to keep doing what we do.

Esta mañana en ontramos un visitante muy especial en la granja.

Momentos como estos llenan nuestras velas para seguir haciendo lo que hacemos.

Next time you eat guacamole, thank a giant ground sloth: the Lestodon!

These 15-ft animals ate avocado whole, traveled, and then pooped, depositing the pits in new places. Most mammals couldn't handle large seeds, so it was up to megafauna to disperse (and fertilize!) avocados.

Is this the photograph of the day, or an AI fantasy?

These look like baby sloths on a branch. But there are some big problems: sloths are either 2-toed or 3-toed, these babies have 4 toes; mother sloths give birth to only 1 baby, so where did these 5 come from? #sloths #photographs
