I have never seen a sloth move so fast

I will never understand how they capture these spontaneous moments in nature with such grace and beauty. The placement of camera shots is seriously unbelievable

Incredible editing. I love how the baby's head is hidden, only to be exposed the moment Sir David mentions she is with child.

Yo, the male sloth got played. He defied all sloth logic SWAM accross islands to smash, but then he finds out she's got a kid already? Damn.

Attenborough is God.

Sloths must be the cutest and friendliest animal on earth 💓

[umey]

Since when did sloths swim, i thought they'd be too slow and drown.

[juno]

What makes this magnificent series so entertaining is David Attenborough's classic British understatement. It's both educational and humorous at the same time. Wonderful television.

[greenknitter]

Loved the first episode last night on BBC 1, astonishing camerawork and David Attenborough's narration...sublime.

[noxabellus]

They should show this to kids in swim classes. If a sloth can do it, so can you!

[TopNotchTommy]

Sloths can swim faster than I can... mind blown
