    Apparently, it’s doing really well now.

    And also they’re called “lazy bears” in Ecuador.

        Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.

        Doven = lazy, or more accurately, “action less”. Dyr = animal.

          Portuguese: bicho preguica

          Preguiça: to feel lazy, “bicho”: a little less formal way to say animal

      Haha that’s cool, I wonder if there are any languages where the sloth isn’t named after their slow nature?
