Naked Mole-rat Cam Related Resources Slow and Steady Sloths Two-Toed Sloth Choloepus didactylus Physical Description Two-toed sloths are 21 to 29 inches long and weigh about 9 to 17 pounds. Their brownish-gray fur curves from the stomach to the back, unlike most mammals, allowing rain to run off. The fur is usually home to algae, which help camouflage these rainforest canopy animals. Their long curved claws allow them to hang from branches. They move along branches with a hand-over-hand motion. Home Range Central America and northern South America, including Peru and Brazil Habitat Tropical rainforest canopies Diet Leaves, twigs, and fruits Reproduction Single young, born after gestation of five to six months. The young clings to its mother's belly for a few weeks, until it has the strength to move on its own. The gestation of the other species of two-toed sloths, Hoffman's two-toed sloth, lasts about 11 and a half months. Social Structure Sloths generally lead solitary lives, although several females may be found in the same tree. Active during the night.

Paleontology Ground Sloths North American Ground Sloths 1855 Ground sloths are large, extinct relatives of the modern tree sloths. Fossils of these bizarre animals were first discovered in South America and had been studied by European scientists, including Georges Cuvier and Richard Owen. The North American ground sloths were poorly known until Joseph Leidy published "A Memoir of the Extinct Sloth Tribe of North America." in 1855 . This 68 page article provided a detailed summary of the current state of knowledge at that time regarding the North American species. It also provided the first detailed description of the best known species, Megalonyx jeffersonii (Jefferson's ground sloth) Claw and finger bones from the front limb of Megalonyx jeffersonii.

A Big Sloth "Every particle of factual evidence supports the factual contention that the higher mammalian vertebrates experience pain sensations at least as acute as our own. To say that they feel pain less because they are lower animals is an absurdity; it can easily be shown that many of their senses are far more acute than ours - visual acuity in certain birds, hearing in most wild animals, and touch in others; these animals depend more than we do today on a the sharpest possible awareness of a hostile environment. Apart from the complexity of the cerebral cortex (which does not directly perceive pain) their nervous systems are almost identical to ours and their reaction to pain remarkably similar, though lacking (so far as we know) the philosophical and moral overtones. The emotional element is all too evident, mainly in the form of fear and anger." Richard Serjeant sloths.org Sleepy Sloth A Baby Sloth Sloth Hotlinks ... BLTC Research E-mail Dave dave@hedweb.com

Professor George is a script consultant and “talking head” on “Journey to 10,000 B.C.”, a program tied to the March 7 opening of the movie “10,000 B.C.” While the movie traces the life of a young mammoth hunter fighting for the survival of his tribe, the documentary will explore the world in which that mammoth hunter existed. “Journey to 10,000 B.C.” will look at archaeological evidence for how early humans lived at a time of a mini-Ice Age and when the saber tooth cat, the giant ground sloth and the woolly mammoth still roamed, but were going extinct. Computer animation will help recreate a mammoth hunt. George and his classics colleagues, assistant professor Matthew Gonzales and lecturer Linda Rulman, were part of a similar project last year at the opening of the moving

Study Shows Big Game Hunters, Not Climate Change, Killed Off Sloths Prehistoric big game hunters and not the last ice age are the likely culprits in the extinction of giant ground sloths and other North American great mammals such as mammoths, mastodons and saber-toothed tigers, says a University of Florida researcher. Determining whether the first arrival of humans or the warm-up of the American continent at the end of the last Ice Age was responsible for the demise of prehistoric sloths has puzzled scientists because both events occurred at the same time, about 11,000 years ago. But by using radiocarbon to date fossils from Cuba and Hispaniola, where humans appeared later than on the North American continent, long after the last Ice Age occurred, UF ornithologist David Steadman was able to separate the two events. He and his colleagues found the last record of West Indian ground sloths coincided with the arrival of humans 4,400 years ago. The results are published in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper this week.
