Unau (Linnaeus's Two-Toed Sloth)
Two claws, night life, rainforest slow
Two claws, night life, rainforest slow
Two stripes. One unstoppable house pest.
Hiss with purpose. Breathe to be heard.
Green by day, gone by night
Big fluff. Bigger curiosity.
Yellow spots, hidden nights
Bands on the belly, lives in the walls
The roach with a skull on its shield
Florida's skunk-scented forest roach
The hunter tick with the lone star
Small tick, big impact.
The indoor tick that loves dogs
Ornate hitchhiker of field and brush
Small tick, big consequences.
Ornate hitchhiker with a big bite
Nature's neon, toxin-borrowing sea slugs
Six legs, endless strategies.
Born at sea, raised in rivers, return to spawn
Horned eyes, hidden strike
The reef's tiny rock-hopping grazer
Small predator, big attitude
Silk, stealth, and eight-legged skill
Leathery shell, ocean-spanning traveler
Buried hunter of Africa's sands
