The silence is so
profound that it seems
locked within a wall
of silence--
and in the center
am I

I sigh--not sure
if in resignation
or contentment--
and wait
for what,
I do not know
only that
it is
soon to arrive

It's been said that there's an imbalanced focus on ornithology within our site, but we can also claim to have a slightly skewed preference for sloths as well. Whether it's their permanently gentle grin or their slow, methodical movements we're not sure, but we know we're not the only ones who find them fascinating.

Sloths are found in both rainforest and dry tropical forest ecosystems but the biodiversity of their habitat is nothing compared to what they carry around with them in their arboreal lives.
