Sloths: Slow, Steady, and Super Stylish

Sloths have captured hearts worldwide with their slow-motion charm, quirky looks, and laidback attitudes. They’ve become internet sensations, bringing smiles and laughs to millions with their adorable (and often hilarious) moments. At Wyld Cards, we celebrate sloths in our funky greeting cards complete with hats, glasses, and plenty of sloth swagger! But before you grab a sloth-themed card, let’s dive into some fun facts and learn more about these lovable creatures.

Slow and steady as a Sloth

Sloths are known to be the slowest mammals on the planet, moving at an average speed of 0.03 miles per hour. They move so slowly that algae can grow on their fur! When covered in algae they are then the perfect camouflage to help them blend into the trees and avoid predators like eagles and jaguars. How cool would it be if we could grow our own natural green outfit! Love it! And when it comes to naps, sloths are the ultimate pros. They sleep up to 15 to 20 hours a day!  Making our Sloth Wyld Card the perfect retirement card! Such fun.

One of my favourite scenes is in the animated movie Zootopia (2016) with Flash – a slow-moving sloth who works at the Department of Mammal Vehicles, humorously playing up the stereotype of slow service in government offices.

Sloths: internet stars

Thanks to the internet, sloths have become famous for their quirky behaviour and laid-back lifestyle. Who can forget the viral video of the sloth getting a traffic stop from a kind-hearted person who helped it cross the road? These slow-motion critters have a way of charming their way into people’s hearts, and their sleepy grins and slow, deliberate moves make them perfect for light-hearted internet fun.

If you’re as smitten with sloths as we are, there are places in the UK where you can visit and even feed these adorable creatures.

At Wyld Cards, we believe sloths are the ultimate symbol of relaxation and easy-going vibes. With their slow but steady approach to life, they remind us to take it easy and enjoy the moment. Our funky sloth greeting card is ideal for those who love quirky animals.
