This Running Koala Is Probably High Out Of His Mind

Koalas sleep 22 hours a day. When they’re awake, they eat leaves that make them high. Animal Planet does not air a show called Koala Intervention, but it really should, because a show where a koala shows up to a hotel conference room in flip-flops holding her cell phone only to find her koala mom and dad sitting there and her koala aunt sobbing is something I would gladly watch.

Where was I? Yes.  Here is a video of a koala running down a hallway towards a camera. I have watched hundreds of hours of koala footage and have never seen anything quite like this.

It’s almost terrifying? But like a serial killer I want to cuddle with:

Drop It Like It’s Sloth

Here’s the trailer for “Too Cute! Baby Sloths”, an upcoming accurately-titled documentary on Animal Planet about a Sloth Sanctuary (Slothtuary) in Costa Rica. It’s basically a building where a bunch of sloths are constantly crawling around very slowly and looking tired, so you should pretty much just go set your DVR right now (actually you have some time – they are very slow).

 

I VOTE FOR THE SLOTH AT 0:34!!! If we’re voting for sloths. I am.

Also, the music in the trailer is the EXACT music I hear in my head any time I see a sloth. That or “Drop It Like It’s Sloth”, a song about shaking your ass super slowly.
