funks suck. especially when people are like "nathaniel didn't do his homework? whaaaa? i think i;ll talk about it very loudly for a long time!" at this point i am like, shut the fuck and gimme some peace!
anyways.
sloths move so slowly that moss grows on them, thus enhancing their natural camoflauge. however, they still get eaten by alligators and eagles.
Sloths are from South America, and thus were not discovered by western civilization until relatively recently.
The word sloth probably has anlo-saxon or roman origins, and is strictly a western word, and its original meaning was that of its biblical references towards laziness.
So basically Western explorers (Europeans) saw the sloth and decided it was such a lazy creature that they would name for one of the deadly sins (this is now assumption and not fact).
