October is a fine and dangerous season

[Charliecat5]

Sloths move only when necessary and even then very slowly; they have about a quarter as much muscle tissue as other animals of similar weight. They can move at a marginally higher speed if they are in immediate danger from a predator or someone has called last orders, but they burn large amounts of energy doing so. 

Their specialised hands and feet have long, curved claws to allow them to grip a beer glass or water bottle without dropping it, even when startled.  While they sometimes sit on top of branches, they usually eat, sleep, and even give birth hanging from limbs. They sometimes remain hanging from branches after death. Sloths are very sturdily built and rarely die from alcohol poisoning or too much peanut butter.

It’s been three weeks now… I really need to get out for a run.
