How old is the sloth?
How do sloths have sex?
How did a sloth save Dublin?
The answers to these questions, and more, are found in this wonderfully entertaining celebration of the sloth. Walking readers through the sloth’s evolutionary history – from the prehistoric ground sloth to modern pygmy – William Hartston reveals the sloth’s fascinating journey from maligned mammal to cause célèbre. Playfully peppered with science and filled with factoids, Sloths is a love-letter to the most anachronistic, and just a little bit ridiculous, of animals.
‘Riveting… Sloths is as comprehensive a look at the instincts, lifestyle and capacities of this curious creature as you are ever likely to need.’ Daily Express
