How to survive a sloth attack: walk thats it

If you look up and see a sloth in a tree above you, NEVER lay down under the tree and take a 2 hour nap as that will almost give him enough time to climb down and reach you. It is amazing how many people have died by falling asleep under a sloth tree and succumbing to those slow motion stealth attacks.

God knew what he was doing when he made sloths slow, I literally would faint imagining this thing running at me fast

[alikhodajani]

- What do sloths call a tortoise ?
- Usain Bolt !

I had no idea that a sloth could hold its breath for 40 minutes. Incredible that they can suppress their metabolism to make their heart rate a third of its normal speed.

Take a nap for 5 hours and then spent the rest of your day normally, it will never make it to you

I was attacked by a sloth once and it was very traumatic.😢 it leaped at me from a tree. Only took it 10 min to hit the ground. We all need sloth safety classes.

Yah about a minute in I realized this was an April fools joke.

I had a sloth come barreling out of tree at me once at a astonishing 2 mph.Luckily I had enough time to get down and tie both shoe laces before I walked away in no big hurry at all.I even sat down and looked at the beautiful terrain and contemplated if I should get some much needed shuteye before I continued on my way. Needless to say I decided to skip the nap but when I stood up I dropped an entire pocket filled to brim full of change.Mainly pennies. So I took my time and picked up all the pennies. I figured you know with the way the economy's going... you don't want to waste any money even if it is just pennies. After that I was exhausted I decided to lay down and take that nap after all. When I got up I went and took a much-needed bathroom break before I continued on my way. Let's just say I'm was one of the lucky few that got away with my life. Very very very scary encounter.

I love how the video ends on a good note about stopping deforestation.

[BULEGILAYEN]

Wow, im 36 years old, from germany and just knew its called "sloth". In german the official name is "Faultier", which is the direct translation of "lazy animal"

"When Do They Attack?"

"step 6, You Realized You Just Got fooled."
"Oh Yeah-"

[aisforapple]

The sloth and I could both sleep on the couch for 20 hours a day.

[jenpink]

This is adorable and informative! I giggled the whole way through until you got to the deforestation. Thank you for this video, it’s perfect!
