They may be extremely slow but have you ever seen a happier animal? We can learn a lot from these adorable creatures.

The Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo) is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to saving sloths in the wild through research and conservation initiatives. Based on the belief that every single person has the ability to make a positive difference, we are focused on inspiring individuals to care about sloths, to protect the rainforest ecosystem and to safeguard a future for the planet that we all share. Sloth populations are in decline throughout South and Central America as they struggle to adapt to the urbanisation of the rainforest. Saving these incredible animals from extinction now requires innovative and long-term conservation solutions that provide sustainable ways for sloths to coexist with the people sharing their habitat. Their new project is turning "Game of thrones" characters into "Game of sloths".

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. Take a quick look at the images below and try to stop yourself from saying "aww" out loud! Via: One Green Planet

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
