I hope no one thinks that an animal that moves about 8 inches a day could stand a chance against a super predator like an eagle

oh I never thought the sloth had a chance

the fact that a bird that big still exists that's able to lift a sloth off a tree is what blew my mind. hide ya kids

Wonder how much that sloth weighs. That's impressive strength for a bird.

Ten minutes of eagles kicking butt - wolves (they use eagle pairs in Mongolia to hunt wolves), goats, people, deer, cat, fox, etc.

It is a longer battle (10 second gif limit) but the eagle ultimately gets tossed off the goat, looking dazed.

I was curious about this as well so I looked it up....

quote:

Three-toed sloths are about the size of a small dog or a large cat, with the head and body having a combined length around 45 cm (18 in) and a weight of 3.5–4.5 kg (8–10 lb).

I lived in Alaska back in the 80s and remember it being quite common for bald eagles to snatch up people's dogs on a regular basis.

Damn them eagles go HAM, for us an 8 second ride might win you a belt buckle.
