12. You pick the greatest pics!
:spray:

I haven't lol in rl like this in a while. Thanks! :)

From those pics, I can understand the creepy feeling you get. ;) It has something to do with their unnaturally bland smiles -- it's a little disturbing.

But how could you not like these:

16. I've seen them in the wild. Amazing creatures.
Once I was in a boat in the Amazon. A sloth was in the river. :wow: Our guide fished him out with the long paddle. The sloth clung to the beam holding the boat's "roof." They put him in a tree when we got to the place we were staying -- an eco-resort. That way he would not get eaten by natives.

They have that green tinge because algae grows on their fur.
