John Lennon said it best... "Let it be". An over-moneyed "big ugly dumb North American" who is "out boating" sees a native animal doing what it is supposed to do, and has to molest it. Look, but don't touch. Perfect example of why the world generally has negative stereotypes of Americans.

They are actually really good swimmers, it just takes them long time to get where they are going. (Thank you Animal Planet!)

But maybe his tree fell over so he had to switch. I think what saves them is that they had up in trees 9/10 of their lives.

In the middle of the night a sloth swum to our boat in the middle of the river and climbed aboard, apparently looking for food. Our guide grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, showed him to everyone on board, then sent him overboard again behind the boat. When I was in Brazil, I took a short excursion to the Amazons.

Does their meat taste bad? You'd think at that speed they would be long-extinct. Could it be that they are saved by their sheer cuteness? I want one.
