The Way of the Sloth, continued

Another bit of information about the sloth, which I find interesting, had to do with its diet. The sloth dines on a tree that produces a leaf that has a narcotic quality. The native Bri Bri are known to smoke this leaf for it’s soothing effect. The sloth’s affection for the leaf goes someway in explaining his torpid demeanor.

    Love, Renze
