ALBUFEIRA

Preguiça para todos e sem se comerem uns aos outros!

(racionais e irracionais e envolvendo frutas e vegetais)

Apenas por considerar o descanso nos seus tempos livres, extremamente importantes para o seu bem-estar e desenvolvimento pessoal (e mesmo assim ainda se acreditando ser este, um animal irracional), sendo ainda hoje diminuído psiquicamente − pelo sentido pejorativo atribuído ao seu nome − tal como pelos vistos já no passado, era perseguido mas fisicamente (para o comer). Até pelo seu contributo para o desenvolvimento do Homem (voluntário e/ou voluntário) merecendo a nossa Homenagem (e Celebração) – sem transpirar, “Fazendo Nada”!

Há uns 11.000 anos com a Preguiça-Gigante

A ser uma presa de predadores como o Homem

Scientists have uncovered evidence of ancient humans engaged in a deadly face-off with a giant sloth, showing for the first time how our ancestors might have tackled such a formidable prey.

Standing over 2 meters tall, with forelegs tipped with claws, giant sloths lived until around 11,000 years ago. Most scientists believe over-hunting by humans eventually led to their extinction.

Fossilised footprints in the salt flats of White Sands National Monument, in the southwestern U.S. state of New Mexico, reveal humans walking in the exact footsteps of a giant sloth and then confronting it, possibly hurling spears.

A Preguiça

Vista como o animal mais lento do mundo

"The story that we can read from the tracks is that the humans were stalking; following in the footsteps, precisely in the footsteps of the sloth," said Matthew Bennett, one of a team of scientists behind the discovery.

"While it was being distracted and turning, somebody else would come across and try and deliver the killer blow. It's an interesting story and it's all written in the footprints," said Bennett, a professor of environmental and geographical sciences at Bournemouth University in southern England. (continua)
