Scientists can’t get sloth to move<\/b><\/p>\n

Scientists in the eastern German city of Jena said Wednesday they have finally given up after three years of failed attempts to entice a sloth into budging as part of an experiment in animal movement.<\/p>\n

The sloth, named Mats, was remanded to a zoo after consistently refusing to climb up and then back down a pole, as part of an experiment conducted by scientists at the University of Jena’s Institute of Systematic Zoology and Evolutionary Biology.<\/p>\n

No amount of cucumbers or plates of homemade spaghetti were appetizing enough to make Mats move.<\/p>\n

“Mats obviously wanted absolutely nothing to do with furthering science,” said Axel Burchardt, a university spokesman.<\/p>\n

Mats’ new home is the zoo in the northwestern city of Duisburg where, according to all reports, he is very comfortable.<\/p>\n
