This is Edward, a baby two-toed sloth, and it’s feeding time.
There was a great 19th-century chess master, Elijah Williams, who was nicknamed “the Bristol Sloth,” but probably not because he was such a cute baby. Someone calculated that Williams, on the average, took two-and-a-half hours to make a single move.
Even Edward can probably beat that.
It’s easy to see why these little guys are so endearing 🙂
The Bristol Sloth was not so endearing to his fellow chess players.
