It is easy to assume there is one kind of sloth. In fact there are six; all of them are closely related to armadillos and anteaters. In this essay I will show you the main differences between the two main species; two-toed and three-toed sloths.…
An ecological organization completed a data analysis on the biological diversity in Central America. The organization completed an inventory of two species of sloths in order to observe for regular and irregular movement patterns of sloths. There are two types of sloths that are predominant in the area which is observed. Both these sloths choose niches based on their movement patterns and their preferences for biotic and abiotic factors.…
Sloths are unique creatures that are completely different from all other animals. They live in the tops of trees in the rain forests and jungles in South America. At the tops of the trees they don’t move or make noise in order to remain hidden from predators. By moving slowly or not at all predators don't notice them and can't find them.The two different types of sloths are the two toed sloth and the three toed sloth. The two toed sloth has brown fur and a pink pig snout. The three toed sloth has gray fur a white face and black fur around the eyes. The sloth is a creature unlike any other and are very interesting.…
One interesting fact about the 3 Toed Pale Throated Sloth is that on average the female sloth is bigger that the male sloth. Their classification system is they are part of the Animalia Kingdom, Chordata Phylum, Mammalia Class, Pilosa Order, Bradypodidae Family, and the Bradypus Genus.…

The results are what I would have expected to see comparing the artic ground squirrel, and Brown Norway rat and Dahl rats. The graph shows that rodent with the least amount of heart damage is the artic ground squirrel that hibernates during the winter and that the Dahl Salt sensitive rat has the most levels of troponin in the blood levels meaning that the Dahl Salt sensitive rate had the highest about of heart damage. The artic squirrel is able to provide the most protection for their…
According to Honoré, slow is not only the opposite of fast, but it also means balance or tempo giusto, a term musicians use for the right speed. The slow lifestyle provides sustainability in economic, social and environmental aspects. DeWolf explains his distaste for the workaholic…
The Eastern Gray Squirrels (Sciurus Carolinensis) is the very common, NOrth American Squirrel. It is found in a great variety of woodlands, parklands, suburban, and even urban areas (Pennsylvania State University, 2013). The Eastern Gray squirrel’s primary food is “mast,” more commonly known as nuts of forest trees. Eastern Gray Squirrels will also eat almost anything given to them with the exceptions of meat, though there have been a few cases reported of cannibalism (http://www.biokids.umich.edu, 2002). Eastern Gray Squirrels have adapted to eating human foods such as potato chips, seeds, fruit, etc. But have Eastern Gray squirrels become so adapted to eating human foods that they prefer easily accessible human food over their own natural food such as nuts? This question leads to my experiment of squirrels food preference, corn (human food) or acorns, one of the eastern gray squirrels primary food. The experiment will located in Bush Pasture Park in Salem, Oregon where Eastern Gray Squirrels are thriving within an urban area. My hypothesis is that squirrels will prefer the more easily accessible human food, corn.…
In order to fight the monotony and be mindful in contemporary society, Chuck Klosterman develops commanding syntax to warn the individuals of the costs associated with repetitive and mindless acts. The motion of continuously and deliberately accomplishing something without any afterthought, much “… like slaughtering zombies” (Klosterman 1), has left a demeaning effect on those effected as they eventually become incapable of thinking for themselves. Human nature, as complex as it initially is, eventually becomes simplified to the point where reactions are easily predictable.…
I cannot overemphasize how skilled Guinness is at clearly explaining the true nature of the vices. Before reading this chapter, whenever I thought of the word ‘sloth,’ I either thought of a slow-moving animal or of a person who expects results without expending effort. For this reason, although I am lazy more often than I should be, I am industrious enough that I do not really fit the definition of a ‘sluggard.’ However, according to Guinness’ definition, I am not guiltless of sloth. In fact, I have gone through several slothful periods in my life. Although many of the examples in this chapter focused on sloth as the loss of hope in life, Guinness’ interpretation of this vice reveals that it is unfortunately quite easy to slip into a lesser…
A Social psychologist by the name of Robert Levine, once conducted a study of the tempo of life in 31 different countries. He collected data on 3 different things, these included the time it takes to buy a stamp, average walking speed of pedestrians during a rush hour and the accuracy of clocks on the walls of banks. In his study, he discovered that in places like london and New York, the times were the fastest. And also that there…
‘’Slower than the rest’’ is a story written by Cynthia Rylant. It is a realistic short-story about a boy named Leo. In the beginning, Leo was driving home and spotted a turtle. Soon, when Leo got home he named the turtle Charlie. In the end, he was considered “Slower Than The Rest.” this story shows that no matter how hard you try not to be noticed, you will eventually end up being noticed and you might even get rewarded for it.…
Subsequently, we see characters that represent a sloth all over the media. For example, we all know the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants. It may be a children’s cartoon, but many of the characters represent the seven deadly sins. Patrick, the big, pink starfish sleeps under a rock all day. When he is challenged by any remotely time consuming or straining task, the “gears” in his brain start to malfunction. His character is the epitome of what a sloth stands…
These authors’ attempts to investigate whether chimpanzees construe others as ‘wanting’ or ‘intending’ things are now generally…
To summarize, my belief is that a slow-pace life helps make us joyful moments, deepen our relationship and prevent evils, as well. People apparently have the rights to decide what their own lives would be, however, they should all allow themselves to experience being ‘alive’ with the full meaning of the…
