Sometimes I resent evolution. A study published this week in the Proceedings of Royal Society B. claims that millions of years ago, sloths were six-feet long and spent most of their lives in the water. Thank you, survival of the fittest, for depriving me of a world full of underwater sloth rides and hypnotically slow games of beach volleyball.

Good morning. There is an Amazon retailer that sells shirts of sloths doing various things they probably shouldn't. Like stripping, attacking the Hindenburg, or co-starring in Dirty Dancing. They pretty much all come in women's sizes too. Don't say I never did anything for you.

Obviously sloths are adorable, but unfortunately their extreme cuteness alone isn't enough to stop us from "fern gullying" their habitat. Thankfully, a study done on the medicinal value of sloth fungi may provide huge incentives for us to conserve their rainforest home.

It's not surprising to hear that sloths are too chill to poop more than once a week. But why do they do it on the forest floor? Ecologists are studying the poop pilgrimage of the three-toed sloth, and the science behind it is a little weirder than what we would expect from such cute little squirts.

Okay, now do one for the men. It should only take you about thirty two years, which, incidentally, is how long it's been since the first female American Supreme Court justice took the bench for the first time. (HuffPo)

The Internet is pretty much overrun by cute animals, and we're sure not complaining about that. There's no shortage of cat pictures online, but pound-for-pound there's nothing cuter than a baby sloth. The Internet could really use more adorable sloth content, so we fully support this video of comedic sloth facts that make up the latest installment of the YouTube show True Facts. Geekosystem love Sloth.

When baby sloths get mange, it can be particularly difficult to treat. Fortunately Judy Avey-Arroyo at the Costa Rican sloth sanctuary has a solution: A shave, a slathering in a special lard mixture, and then swaddling in bandages. The treatment looks extreme, but it seems to work and has the added benefit of leaving the sloths looking cute as all get out.

I am so excited to show you all this video. Why? Because Kristen Bell is really, really, really excited and it's contagious. As someone who gets extremely emotional when it comes to animals, even just watching them on television, this video makes me very sympathetic for the Veronica Mars/Forgetting Sarah Marshall actress. Her boyfriend gave her a very special present for her 31st birthday, something she'll never forget. A visit from a sloth. And yes, he captured her reaction on video and she let Ellen DeGeneres play part of it on her show even though it's kind of embarrassing. In Bell's own words, "Welcome to @theellenshow ! todays topic? Kristen Bells inability to handle her emotions!" I adore you, Kristen Bell. (via Videogum)

This woman loves sloths but I'm not quite sure she's got a handle on what "stressful" means. These little baby sloths seem to love getting pampered at bath time and in fact, I'm quite jealous at their regular regimen. But I'll forgive because well, adorable. (via The Daily What)

This is a story (by Slothvision) about a scientist. He loves his sloth, but then his sloth died. So, that scientist decided to take matters into his own hands, play God, and do whatever he could to continue his happy-go-lucky sloth fun times. And he did! Yay! (via Geeks Are Sexy)
