I have a lot of respect for the sloths, they never do anything in a hurry, and everything is done in their own time and at their own pace.  A lovely image in natural habitat of this happy soul Jeff!  8)

I do feel a lot of respect for them too, the fact that they look so "fragile" but still here after so many adaptations and a wonderful natural history. So glad that you like it Carol!
