Steel toed sloth
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The steel toed sloth was once commonly found all over Eurasia. Like all other sloths, it has a nasty temper and a voracious appetite. Dedicated observers claim it exhibits traits of six of the seven deadly sins, and got it's name to give it the seventh. These sloths were a prized hunting object during the seventeenth centure for being a source of high carbonite steel. The other part of the name comes from the heft chunk of steel at the end of each of their feet. These claws help the wild sloths tear their native food source, old automobiles, into bite sized chunks.
Eventually as the population dwindled, the need for domestication became apparent. Soon huge feed lots and captive breeding campaigns were established and wild hunting ceased.
Current world wide estimates put the captive population at about 30 million. The wild population never recovered from hunting and the added insult of acid rain prematurely ruining their claws.
Besides being used as raw material for steel, the claws are frequently used in shoes for a steel toe, and sometimes used as spearheads by insane hunters.
