Sloth

Cutty has been bugging me for ages to begin my blog, but I have no idea what to write about. My life's not that exciting, I go to Uni, study, work, play wow, sleep, eat and that's about it. So seeing as I'm not very interesting, I figured I needed to find something that was. Enter the animals! Animals are awesome. I should know, I'm a Vet. So I've decided my blog will be dedicated to all the different wonderful creatures on our planet, by posting videos, photos and occasionally, animal facts.
So to begin - The Sloth.
Here is a great video of a baby sloth. It is simply adorable!
Sloths have symbiotic cyanobacteria on their fur which provide them with camouflage in wet conditions. Additionally this bacteria provides nutrients to the sloths when they lick their fur, which is handy given the leaves which make up the bulk of their diet are nutrient poor.
