#sloth face

Two days of filming for Tragicomic Webseries have happened! Ten to go... LET'S DO THIS!

Pilosa is one of the smallest of the orders of the mammal class its only other suborder contains the anteaters. These names are from the Latin 'leaf eater' and 'hairy', respectively. Sloths are in the taxonomic suborder Folivora of the order Pilosa. The earliest xenarthrans were arboreal herbivores with sturdy vertebral columns, fused pelvises, stubby teeth, and small brains. Anteaters and armadillos are also included among Xenarthra. One study found that xenarthrans broke off from other placental mammals around 100 million years ago. Sloths belong to the superorder Xenarthra, a group of placental mammals believed to have evolved in the continent of South America around 60 million years ago. The algae also nourish sloth moths, some species of which exist solely on sloths. The shaggy coat has grooved hair that is host to symbiotic green algae which camouflage the animal in the trees and provide it nutrients. Sloths are almost helpless on the ground, but are able to swim. Their slowness permits their low-energy diet of leaves and avoids detection by predatory hawks and cats that hunt by sight. French paresseux) also mean "lazy" or similar. Sloth, related to slow, literally means "laziness," and their common names in several other languages (e.g. Sloths are so named because of their very low metabolism and deliberate movements. They included both ground and arboreal forms which became extinct after humans settled the archipelago in the mid-Holocene, around 6,000 years ago. Members of an endemic radiation of Caribbean sloths formerly lived in the Greater Antilles. The extinction correlates in time with the arrival of humans, but climate change has also been suggested to have contributed. However, they became extinct during the Quaternary extinction event around 12,000 years ago, along with most large bodied animals in the New World. Besides the extant species, many species of ground sloths ranging up to the size of elephants (like Megatherium) inhabited both North and South America during the Pleistocene Epoch. The two groups of sloths are from different, distantly related families, and are thought to have evolved their morphology via parallel evolution from terrestrial ancestors. Despite this traditional naming, all sloths have three toes on each rear limb- although two-toed sloths have only two digits on each forelimb. There are six extant sloth species in two genera – Bradypus (three–toed sloths) and Choloepus (two–toed sloths). They are considered to be most closely related to anteaters, together making up the xenarthran order Pilosa. Noted for their slowness of movement, they spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America. Sloths are a group of arboreal Neotropical xenarthran mammals constituting the suborder Folivora. On May 30th, the sloth-faced images of celebrities and icons were compiled into a Tumblr photoset by Tastefully Offensive, where the post gained more than 10,400 notes within six days.Temporal range: Early Oligocene to Holoceneĭelsuc, Catzeflis, Stanhope, and Douzery, 2001 Two days later, the earliest known instance of such composite image without the white margins was submitted to the subreddit, featuring an image of actor Clint Eastwood (shown below, right). On October 28th, 2012, the subreddit /r/Quasimoderp was launched. The Elijah Wood photoset resurfaced on Reddit in April 2012, gaining 830 overall points, 10,960 upvotes and 410 comments in the WTF subreddit. On December 24th, 2011, Buzzfeed published a compilation of 26 similar collage-style photo sets depicting various celebrities with their facial features in disproportionate scale. In 2011, a photoset collage of Hollywood actor Elijah Wood's facial features in close-up images (shown below, left) began circulating on Tumblr.
