保持冷静(Hang cool)

今天我们庆祝国际懒惰日!我们今天照片的主角是哥斯达黎加一棵树上的十三趾树懒。这种放松、喜树的哺乳动物是南美洲和中美洲热带地区的家园。这些迷人的动物有短尾巴,每条肢体上都有三个脚趾爪,可以很容易地抓住树枝。树懒主要以树叶为食,但也吃水果和树汁。为了能够粉碎坚硬的纤维状叶子,它们有一个特殊的多腔胃。它们的新陈代谢非常缓慢,这意味着消化需要很长时间,它们每天不需要太多食物来生存。

Today we celebrate the International Day of the Sloth! The main actor of our picture today is the thirteen-toed sloth, pictured here on a tree in Costa Rica. This relaxed, tree-loving mammal is home to the tropical regions of South and Central America. These fascinating animals have short tails and three toe claws on each limb that allow them to easily hold onto branches. Sloths feed mainly on leaves, but also eat fruits and tree juices. In order to be able to crush the tough, fibrous leaves, they have a special multi-chamber stomach. Their metabolism is very slow, which means that digestion takes a very long time and they do not need much food per day to survive.
