Today we celebrate books! April 23rd is International Book Day, in honor of two of the most important writers in history: William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes.

To celebrate the International Day of Human Spaceflight, held every April 12th, we're reaching for the stars with a little help from one of our most stellar supporters: Ponder E. Stine.

Well, since these illustrations date from the 1700s to the 1800s, they technically represent ‘Enlightenment’ or ‘Victorian’ sloths, as those are the historical periods often associated with these centuries. But let’s not get too scientific for the sake of a good old-fashioned meme!

Although often referred to as two-toed sloths, this description can be a bit misleading since all sloths have three toes on their hind limbs. The real difference lies in their forelimbs, where sloths in the Choloepus genus have two fingers.

The definitive quiz and trivia for sloth experts! This time, we have the three-fingered sloth edition to celebrate the Bradypus genus. Don’t be fooled by the first question—it’s just an easy one to get you warmed up!

Ur-Song Music is proud to donate “You Call Me Slow (The Sloth Song)” to SloCo. It’s a lighthearted, Broadway-style ballad that invites listeners to slow down and enjoy grooving at the speed of sloth.

Today is International Workers’ Day. And what does this have to do with sloths? First, it makes us think about the unfair name of these animals, a form of the word ‘lazy’ in most languages. But even though sloths are not lazy but energy-efficient, it also makes us think about laziness and how in our societies’ overfall, being a little bit idle and slowing down is not permitted. If you have today off, you are probably feeling guilty about it.

THE 19th-century French poet Gérard de Nerval used to take his pet lobster for walks in Paris at the end of a silk ribbon. Asked why he was so fond of this animal, he replied: “I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea and they don’t bark.”

Last year we launched the first-ever International Sloth Festival. In spite of some rough beginnings and the remnants of Covid restrictions, we had a lot more people than we expected and the event itself was awesome!

Why are sloths so darn cute? Is it the little button eyes, the round, fuzzy head, or perhaps the adorable pink tongue? Whatever it is, there’s no denying it: sloths are so cute they just make your heart melt.

Supporters, how do I love thee? Oh, let me count the ways! I love your Urban Tracking Team, that finds me every day. I love you for your green-roped bridges that connect the canopy, I love you for your camera traps that take pictures of me!

Off the Caribbean breeze, there’s a sloth called Kokomo. He’s where we wanna go, to get away from it all.

Some experts consider memes an important form of communication. No doubt you also know someone who speaks in memes (millennials, we’re looking at you) and we love memes too!

It’s the end of the year again—time to reflect, reorganize, and recap the best of 2021. So here are our top 10 blogs, articles, photos, and stories.

Boys and girls of every age, Wouldn’t you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see, Some weird things out while sloth tracking!

GREAT excitement has followed my discovery, in an attic clean-out at Beachcomber Towers, of a manuscript believed lost for more than 2,000 years. Written by the ancient Greek philosopher Arislothl, it is nothing less than a complete version of his legendary masterpiece Lethargics outlining his highly influential views on the merits of nothingness. 

Recently we visited Costa Rica’s La Salle Museum of Natural History, located in the capital, San José. With over 65,000 specimens on exhibition, this is one of the most complete collections in Latin America.

At its heart, Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to show appreciation for our loved ones. Showering our significant others with shiny boxes of sticky chocolate, heart-shaped candies, and love-struck teddy bears: we share gifts to demonstrate our affection for them.

With a following rivaling that of the Kardashians, these baby sloths will never know just how famous they have become.
