Animal , Aug Colombians celebrate "World Day of Laziness" on August 18, A male lion sleeps up to 20 hours per day. The lazier, the happier. Although sloths were once thought to spend up to 18 hours sleeping each day, scientists now believe that sloths usually sleep only 10 hours each day.
Are they just being lazy the rest of the day? Sloths would probably tell you they're just digesting and conserving what little energy they get from the leaves they eat! Are you ready to hang out with some sloths? Find a friend or family member to help you check out the following activities:.
Great question, Cassidy M! That's quite an imagination you have there, MMOG! Thanks for sharing it with us on this Wonder! We hope that you add your questions about the Wonder movie to our Wonder Bank! Not much, you're right. Pretty amazing! Would they speed up? Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kailynn! Thanks for the suggestion, Me!
It certainly is nice to have access to technology like that! Thanks for sharing, Giovanni! Seems like it might be a little boring Thanks, Rob! So glad you learned something new! We don't have a Wonder about Greek gods yet so please submit it to our Wonder Bank. Thanks, Wonder Friend! They are VERY adorable in that video. Those claws look like they could poke you but maybe they never move fast enough to do any damage. They seem pretty easy to catch. Just kidding - we do NOT recommend trying to catch one.
They would be pretty cute pets, though. That's awesome, Saylor! Glad you enjoyed this Wonder about one of your favorite animals! Did you learn something new about them? Thanks for commenting, Jelley! We learned in this Wonder that sloths are the slowest mammals in the world, but we're not sure if they are slower than turtles. We hope you'll do some extra digging to find out and then let us know! Hi, carson! We're glad you liked this Wonder so much! I agree, sloths are misunderstood and here's why.
Sloths actually only sleep 8 to 9 hours a day, like us. People are wrong if they say 20 hours. That test was taken on captive sloths, so they had nothing to do but sleep, so they did so for 20 hours. In the wild, they slept for only 8 hours.
In conclusion, sloths are not lazy, just misunderstood. Great point, Lola. Sloths do get a little bit of a bad reputation. Thanks for learning more about them with us!
Thank you for sharing your comment today, Wonder Friend Sloth! Did you learn something new with us today? We think all those sloths in the video were super cute, too, Sarah! We admire the special people who help take care of those baby orphaned sloths.
It must be a very rewarding job! It makes us happy to hear that you learned the real reason why sloths take their time getting from one place to another, Khuong!
Thanks for exploring this Wonder and leaving us a comment to let us know you stopped by! Phillips we said, "hello! We're so glad you visited Wonderopolis today! Hello, Dylan! We thought it was really cool to learn about why they're slow, too!
We liked that baby sloth in the video, too, mazymaemae! It was super cute how it kind of stayed upright for a little while, but then fell over gently, still hugging its stuffed animal. Thanks for stopping by Wonderopolis today and checking out this Wonder! We hope you didn't have any problems filling out 3 on your note card, Ninja Girl! Maybe you meant you would have trouble choosing only ONE fact to write down because you learned so many?
Thanks so much for visiting Wonderopolis and for leaving us this great comment! We think they probably do, Kimberlee! Animals in the wild are used to going to the bathroom whenever and wherever they need to.
It's part of living in the wild! We're so glad that you liked the cute baby sloth video, Kaylee and Keeley! We're glad you visited Wonderopolis today and learned some new things about an animal you like, Gomo!
We think sloths are pretty awesome, too! Thank you for leaving us such a great comment! Hello, Jacob! Thank you for telling us what you think about sloths! Climbing trees is super fun, too! We think it would be fun to act like a sloth for a day, Emmy!
Hello, Jimmy! Thank you so much for sharing what you learned about sloths! We think you are absolutely right We think you are so lucky to have seen sloths at the Louisville Zoo, Kym!
What a neat experience for you! We agree that it would be difficult for us humans to hang upside down as long as sloths do, but sloths seem to really enjoy it! Thank you so much for your comment! That's right, Miguel! We're so glad to hear that, Asher! Keep it up! We hope you had a very restful day! Hi, Jessie! Thanks for visiting this Wonder and for sharing your friend's sloth joke with us today! We appreciate your comment! Thanks for leaving us another enthusiastic comment, Ria!
We agree with you completely We know, Cameron! We thought so, too! We liked the part in the video where the two baby sloths were both chewing on different ends of the same green bean! It makes us smile every time we watch the baby sloths in the video for today's Wonder!
Hi, Cassidy! Thanks for wanting to learn more about the sloths in the video! Thank you so much for leaving us such an awesome comment today, Valentena! We enjoyed hearing about all the cool sloth facts you learned today! We're glad you and Team Caisse visited Wonderopolis!
Hello, Madison! We know it sounds like sloths sleep a lot and that they're lazy for the rest of the time, but they are doing what sloths do! What might seem lazy to us might seem very active to a sloth! We really liked receiving your comment today, 5A in Gibbons!!!
Thanks so much for letting us know what you thought about today's Wonder! It's great to hear from you, Mrs. Sloths hang upside down because it helps them conserve energy. We think it would be kind of scary to hang upside down by our toenails, but sloths seem to act like it's no big deal! Thanks so much for visiting Wonderopolis and for leaving us a comment today! Hi, Sydney! We think the baby sloths stay attached to their moms for a good while until they are safe enough to travel by themselves.
Then, they probably start exploring other branches of the same trees their moms are hanging from to get comfortable before they "branch" out on their own!
That's another great guess about tomorrow's Wonder from the super smart minds of Team Caisse! We like your guess very much, Brandon! Thank you for sharing it with us, and also for telling us some of the things you learned about sloths today! You guys are super smart for using the clues! We'll all have to meet back here in Wonderopolis tomorrow to see who guessed right!
That sounds like it would be a lot of fun, Sarah! We agree that it was interesting to learn how long it takes for a sloth to digest food. They don't die because it takes so long, though. Their stomachs and metabolisms are specially made for slow digestion! Your comment gave us a chuckle today, Clayton!
We're sorry you're allergic to adorable things We're glad that you can't wait to visit Wonderopolis again tomorrow, Melina, and we're really glad you visited us today! We're not sure what happens to the algae that can grow on some sloth's fur. We imagine that some of it might get rubbed off as the sloths make their way through the trees.
Thanks for sharing all the great things you learned about sloths! Thanks so much for telling us how much you enjoyed the video for today's Wonder and that you love visiting Wonderopolis, Dominque! We're glad you stopped by today! Hello, Braeden! Thanks so much for leaving us a comment today! We think there are all sizes of sloths, from little baby ones all the way to full-grown adult sloths! What did you think about the fact that it can take up to a month for a sloth to digest one meal!
That's a really long time! Hi, Dawson! We're glad you learned some new things about sloths today! We liked learning what "folivores" means, too! It's a fun word to say!
It sounds like you learned some really interesting things about sloths today, Michael! That makes us really happy to hear! It is super cool that you thought about how the sloth's speed might be increased if they had a different digestive system. Way to go! We think having a lazy day is awesome every once in a while, Nate!
Sloths have super strong and long toenails claws that help them hang from the trees without falling. Thanks for letting us know all the awesome things you learned by exploring today's Wonder about sloths! They sleep for up to 18 hours a day normally and tire quickly.
When digesting food, which happens once a week when they feed, they sleep more. And, before shedding, which is very energy-demanding, they may sleep for a week to prepare. Hippos have truly mastered the art of lazing around and sleep for 16 to 20 hours each day. Hippos are herbivorous and do most of their foraging at night. They can spend an impressive five hours at a time just grazing on grass. Opossums are champion sleepers, getting an impressive 18 to 20 hours of sleep a day.
