I don't really think of sloths "chasing" anything...

Apparently they were originally considered sloths but have been reclassified as bears, hence the combined name.

It makes you wonder just how slow a macaque monkey really is.

"I don't really think of sloths "chasing" anything..."
In Columbia a boy was trying to sell a young sloth.
It was in a tree branch, I wanted to touch the fur and it swung a 3 toed paw with about 2 inch claws.
They may move slow but they can swing their paws very fast.
