Slothious Mega-Slothious
Songs & Audio
The laziest animal ever to have bothered to evolve… and then become extinct. Despite its huge size, the brain of Slothious Mega-Slothious was very small, and the thought involved in moving leaves him quite exhausted. Due to its massive, curved claws, it walked on the sides of its feet (pedal) rather than flat-footed.
Story Role
On Infinity, it has taken him 50 years to walk up the beach, and he should reach the ‘Check In’ in another 100 years or so. The Registrar ordered The Pottimouth to shout encouragement as he accompanies
the Sloth during his walk – to make sure he walks in the right direction, as one wrong turn could set him back 20 years.
Cause of Extinction
Did You Know?
Some ground sloths were elephant-sized. The largest species could stand over six metres tall.
They used giant claws for defence. Their huge claws may also have helped pull down branches.
Modern sloths are distant relatives. Today’s tree sloths are much smaller descendants of an ancient group.
