Today: It’s me or the sloth.

When my sister was born, I thought she looked like a complete sloth.  I had done extensive research on the species, as only an almost three-year-old could: I read scanned pictures in a book called Zoo Babies.  Looking back, she takes offense to this comparison.  All I know is that I thought the sloths were cute and I thought she was cute.  And that she had surprisingly long fingernails for a baby.

Recently, I’ve come across a bunch of You Tube videos of my sister’s real family, filmed at Aviarios, Costa Rica’s Sloth Sanctuary.

Meet the Sloths

The person who filmed the video above describes the sanctuary are being run by “legendary sloth whisperer Judy Arroyo.”  Look out, Cesar Milan, there’s a new whisperer in town.  Could you imagine if sloths took over Animal Planet?  I would totally be hooked on the following programs:

• It’s me or the sloth
• Judy Arroyo, Sloth Whisperer
• …Sloth, Bounty Hunter

I can just picture a crusty, leather-skinned Sloth with a ferocious blond mullet, chasing down fugitives with his raspy-voiced sloth wife Beth at his side… This has hit show written all over it.

Also On Tap for Today:

• 15 Celebrity mullets. Did the bounty hunter make the (hair) cut?
• Meetings, meetings, and more meetings
• Flowers: pretty to look at, and you can ’em, too!

If you could produce your own smash TV show, what would it be about?
