sloth

Etsy's 2019 trend report has just been released and according to its annual predictions, sloths are the new unicorns.

In pin, pillow, or print form, we can't get enough of the adorable three-toed mammals known for meme-worthy slow-mo road crossings and leisurely dangling upside down from the tropical rainforest trees of South and Central America. "Much like their own unhurried movements, sloths have slowly been on the rise for a few years now, but next year, they're poised to pick up speed," says Dayna from Etsy. "Shoppers and Etsy sellers alike have gravitated to the laid-back demeanor of the sloth, a real-life embodiment of the less-hurried lifestyle many of us strive for every day." In order to celebrate that, we thought you might like this collection of sloth products on Etsy.  

It's well earned naps for cats as keeping humans amused might be exhausting.  

Sloth bears are irresistibly adorable and can melt your heart at a glance. Their name is quite misleading though, as sloth bears are not related to sloths and are not slow moving; they can, in fact, run faster than humans. The shaggy-coated bear is native to India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Mostly snorting and grunting, the reclusive sloth bears wander alone at night in search of insects, fresh fruits, and termites. When it comes to sloth bears, we are hugely unfamiliar with the species and the threats faced by these animals.

This is the story of a unique family who filled in the paperwork needed to adopt a sloth before they ever even knew that baby Alia was on the way. But when learning that this family also owns a kangaroo called Boomeroo, an anteater called Noche, sugar gliders (a type of possum) and a cat called Larry, a sloth does seem like a logic addition to the family. Just two days after Alia was born, Daisy the sloth was introduced into their lives and since then, they have become inseperable! Check out their lovely photos together. Via: Sharesloth
