Sloths Versus Benny  As many of our readers know, Benny and I
love sloths. Recently a Zooillogix reader, Jennifer Lapsker,
traveled to Costa Rica for a sloth-filled vacation. During her
adventure, she was kind enough to pick up a book from the Sloth
Sanctuary entitled “THEY ARE NOT BEARS AND THEY ARE NOT LAZY!”
While the title chastises you for your ignorant sloth
prejudices, the publication is full of fun facts written in a
less accusatory tone.  As informed by the book, we bring you the
first Zooillogix trivia game – 3 Toes, 2 Toes or Benny?!
Question #1: Do sloths and Benny have 2 toes or 3 toes?  Answer:
All sloths have 3 claws or “toes”, although Bradypus variegatus
has 3 longer “fingers” and Choloepus hoffmani has only 2 of
these longer “fingers.” Benny? He was born without hands! That
means Question #1 was a trick question. This is going to get
really hard…  i-b69f96feca03c7908f6570fd1dbce97b-sloth 1.jpg
