Once In A Lifetime

The other day, Kenneth had called me over to the driveway to come and take a look at this sloth that had come down low from the tree...he was so low you could reach out and touch the cute little guy...i never would have thought i'd come this close as to be able to reach out and touch this cute little creature...as excited as i was, i have to say i was a little afraid as well--my heart was racing, as all i could think about were the long claws..not knowing if he'd lunge at me with his paw or not...but, being this close i just couldn't resist and touch the little one...the texture of his fur is not as coarse as i had thought it would be...it was actually quite soft...
These creatures are just amazing to watch...i just get so mesmerized by how they move around on the branches and trees...for the most part, they are pretty slow with their movements, but there are times when they can pick up the pace and move a bit faster to get around...this little guy decided to hang out low on the tree for quite some time before he headed back up to higher ground...

You are lucky he didn't rip your face right off! Be careful. Remember that gorilla that tore that lady's face off. Same thing, except sloths lure you in with their cuteness. Don't forget whenever your friend says that they need help putting their gorilla back in its cage, you tell them No cause you need to go shopping or something. Cuidado!

Who is that thin girl? You better eat that sloth instead of petting it. Get some food in you for the love of God!
