Sloth

Ok, I suddenly became really interested in sloths. They look weird (with longer arms than legs), but cute in some sense. And! The one in Ice Age is a sloth as well! except that it is an extinct species, called Megalonyx Sloth. I wikipediaed, it lived until 11,000 years ago. Here's a nice picture/imagination of it.

If you compare it with Sid the Sloth from Ice Age, you'll find some resemblances (ignore the video game part of the picture).

But sloths of today, who live in the forests of mid/south Africa have very distinct look (well, apparently because these are different species of sloths). Here's a clip from BCC. I especially like how he pronounces sloth with a British accent :P "A slo[eu]th in a hurry!...." (trying to make the entire situation mysterious haha).

Now I do realize that I have a peculiar interest in African animals on the savanna and in the forests. That must have something to do with my father. Since I was little, we like to sit in front of the TV and watch 动物世界 or the Discovery channel together. My father likes animals. He's raised kittens and even wild sparrows when he was little. (Now I am feeling nostalgic and homesick). I have this sudden impulse: should go to the African savanna to watch animals with my dad this summer! (Let me research first and see if it is feasible.)
I will post picture of a family of meerkats on the African savanna to end this post.
