How long is a sloth’s lung capacity anyway?

Scientist 1: Okay Tom, it’s been 41 minutes. Pull the sloth out.

I if you drug a week old, road killed skunk across the countryside, that bloodhound could follow it 2 weeks later.

A bloodhound can follow a four-day-old scent, but it prefers to lie on the porch.

Yeah, but the sloths aren’t swimming at twenty knots. Lounging around in the trees is far easier.

Sloths always look stoned. Maybe they are and that’s why they move so slow.

Is the Supreme Court named after John Duns Scotus?

I would say the origin is still spot on.

The consequences for a sloth not holding it’s breath long enough is to have to do it all over again.

And my Yellow Lab still sniffs the spot where there was a roadkill squirrel (long gone); one week and 2 rains later! Also, Sloths don’t move much so they can conserved their oxygen longer.

Long, apparently …

Big deal. Women can follow 100-year-old money…

Their oxygen consumption per minute is much lower, as they hardly move. That’s why sloths are called “sloths” (or was it the other way round?)
