Inspired by our very recent trip to the zoo, the sloth bear was one of the first mangy beasts that we came upon. And note that it wasn't one of those "where is he? I don't see him? Mom! I'mma throw baby Timmy in to try an get him to come over!" No, not like that at all. The sloth bear found us. I love such combos of animals, especially the ones in which the scientists (or at least the people who made the informational kiosks at the zoo) don't bother to come up with a new name, much like the friendly and suave German language. Just throw the two together and you'll get a good idea of what you're looking at. I love their longer-than-normal-bears claws and their more-bearlike-than-normal-sloths appearance. Plus, look at that fur. Holy burrito, Batman!
Holy God at that picture! Also I like your incorporation of the title after you read about "Mortal Kombat" in my previous post. The German combination of words together to make new words...that reminds me of "kenning," which is something you learn about when you learn about stuff in Old English, like "Beowulf." I've heard Old English also entitled Anglo-Saxon, so I guess that part of English comes from the older Germanic languages? Just a thought. Sloth bears are indeed awesome, and perhaps the best kind of bear? I will have to do some research into that to know for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Sloth bear
