💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🧬 Biologist Fernanda Abra and Reconecta partnered with Waimiri Atroari Indigenous people and landowners in #AltaFloresta to install canopy #bridges over Brazilian #highways.
The multilayered rope bridges have logged more than 15,000 #animal crossings with zero roadkill, used by #primates, #sloths, #opossums and other small #mammals. #Brazil´s #transport agency has now adopted the #design as a national standard for highways.

We went to Manuel Antonio National Park on our sixth day in Costa Rica. We saw macaws, lizards, crabs, hummingbirds, a snake, insects, bats, sloths, and a coati.
We ate lunch at El Chante del Parque and dinner at La Terraza.
After dinner, Megan spotted a sloth on a power line!

#KnowledgeByte: #Sloths are famous for being extremely slow. Three-toed sloths are the slowest-moving mammals on the planet.
Do you know why?

🦥💩 Three-toed #sloths risk #predator attacks on the #forest floor once a week to maintain a complex #ecosystem within their fur.
The dangerous routine allows sloth moths to reproduce and promotes nutrient-rich #algae growth, which provides the slow-moving #mammals with essential #camouflage and a potential supplemental #food source.

"Thirty-one sloths die in Florida before opening of attraction
Thirty-one sloths planned for a new 'slothnarium' in Florida died before the attraction's planned opening, authorities have found.
The mammals were planned to be showcased at a permanent, public exhibit at Sloth World in Orlando, set to open this spring.
Many of the sloths died due to conditions at a Florida warehouse where they had been shipped, according to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) report released on Friday. Others arrived in Florida already dead or appeared in ill health and later died, the report states.
The owner of Sloth World has denied allegations in the report and said there was 'so much false and inaccurate information out there right now'.
'The truth is, we lost sloths that had a virus of which showed barely any symptoms and was undetectable even after necropsy,' Ben Agresta, the owner of Sloth World, told Fox-35 in Orlando.
(. . .)
The report from the FWC, obtained by the BBC on Friday, outlines two instances of the mammals dying ahead of the attraction's planned opening.
In December 2024, 21 sloths shipped from Guyana died due to cold conditions at a warehouse in Florida they had been shipped to, according to the FWC report.
Then, in February 2025, two of 10 sloths travelling from Peru arrived dead. The remaining eight 'appeared emaciated' and later succumbed to 'poor health issues', the report states.
When FWC investigators were alerted and began investigating, Peter Bandre, who is listed online as the attraction's vice-president, told them that the warehouse where the sloths had died was not properly set to receive the animals.
Bandre told investigators: 'It was too late to cancel the shipment."
He attributed their deaths to a 'cold stun', the report adds."

@ajroach42 its tough out there...because making original works means that yiu have to fight for their heart before they open their wallet. Theres where a designthat FEELS familiar without being too referencial is key. Also playing with universal iconography that isnt specific to an IP only (vintage uniforms, these like food or specific animals that the viewer might hold dear.)
My stuff references vintage TV sets, robots, Sloths and space travel. My Volt character is wearing fantasy versions of leg orthotics that havent really changed in decades.

Cementing sloths’ reputation as the cuddliest tree-dwelling mammals, this mother and baby sloth curl up together in an animal rescue centre in Costa Rica. Along with a male sloth, they were found in the Santa Elena hills of Nicoya, far outside their natural range, raising suspicions that they had been stolen as part of the illegal wildlife trade.

@quaap I don't write much on Quora, but sometimes, the very thought of Lipton Tea forces me into doing so.
(Why does #Quora make it so hard to link!)
Also screenshot added for people who wouldn't want to login to Quora for anything. Sensible people!
