No matter how many times I’ve seen a slow loris in the zoo I keep expecting to see a fast loris in the next cage . . . and I keep getting disappointed.
People used to have turtles as pets, but, where we were, pet stores stopped offering them. My father said it was because turtles can pass on salmonella.
What you missed is that the sloth is a Megatherium! It seems that the fires set by eager farmers from Brazil Pres. Jia Balsonaro’s opening of the Amazon rain forest to farming seems to have frightened or forced one of the thought previous extinct animals from its hiding in the deep jungles by the noxious smoke.

Cliff spends day in front of TV.
More like a stationary news day.

But Cliff is still so interested in the news that he didn’t notice the wall shrinking for a moment.

Some turtles can be very quick, perhaps he should have specified a tortoise.

He should go down to the DMV, where a sloth works.

Took me a moment to get it. Guess I was a little slow on the uptake.
Also: love the wordplay!
