Sloths and Buts Sitspen+l Theniselvee
Without' Exertion.
There Is one animal which lines en-
tirely In trees, but is able to maintain
its position during S1uinber without the
least exercise of muscular force. This
Is the sloth, common in ;the forests of.
tropical. America,. Its long clime are so
bent that they book over the branches
and allow the creature to hang upside
down like an animated hammock. Cu-
riously enough, the hammock appears
to -be.a South American invention and
is universally employed by all the In-
dian tribes of the Amazons. Perhaps
the primitive human dwellers in this
region took to sleeping in hammocks
after observing the habits of the sloth.
The great ant eater, which is Both a
kinsman and fellow countryman of the
sloth, has an enormous tail, 'which it
uses In a very remarkable manner. I
recently saw two of these strange ani-
mals lying together asleep, and they
had arranged their tails so cleverly
that their whole bodies were hidden
from view. Moreover, it was evident
that this caudal covering would afford
excellent protection ft•om. the weather,
for the central solid part of the tails
acted as a kind of ridge pole over the
highest part of :the sleepers' bodies, so
that the long fringes of hair sloped
downward on each side like the thatch
upon a roof.
Like the sloths, many kinds of bats
sleep suspended by their, hooked claws
without any muscular exertion what-
ever. Some of the large fruit eating'
bats of the tropics,' which do not sleep
In holes like the species common In
southern latitudes,' but which bang sus-
pended to the branches of trees in the
open air, adopt a position which It
would be difficult to beat for economy
and comfort. Gould's fruit eating' bat,
common in the warmer'parts of Aus-
tralia, suspends itself upside down by
one hind footand wraps its body in the
tentlike folds of its wing membranes,
which extend right down to the an
Iles. Its shoulders, to which the mern-
brane is attached, are humped up so as
to act as eaves to shoot off the rain,
and when asleep it draws its head un-
der their
nderetheir shelter and nestles its nose
among the warm fur of its chest.
