Sloths are mammals.
Sloths fight ALL the time.
The purpose of the sloth is to flip out and kill people.
The problem is their response time. They are just now working up a good head of steam about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

Unlike most mammals, a sloth’s hair grows
away from its extremities. Weird!

No, I’m mostly harmless.
You’re all mixed up. It’s AUSTRIA.
My mother in law was visiting and was taken to a petting zoo in my town. The zoo gave you an option to feed the sloths some thin slices of peaches. All was going well until a male stayed winding around her arm, holding on with his claws and he BIT her arm! She wasn’t being mean or provoking him at all so I’m curious why he would’ve done it. The zookeeper said that none of them had ever bitten before so they were baffled as to what happened to cause this behavior. They reportedly have had their shots and all, but I worry about infections or rabies even. Any ideas from you all what could’ve happened? Any tips on home treatment or what to watch for if it gets bad? It is causing her some horrible pain today, and is still bleeding a little bit.
I would get her an appointment with a doctor or get her to an ER instead of asking a group of people on a message board. We do have some MDs on the boards, but I doubt a sloth bite is something they have had experience with. Even if the sloth has had its shots, your mother-in-law may need a tetanus shot, and antibiotics if the bite becomes infected.
