That's why I wonder about the sloths, in particular. Even if we're generous with land bridges, at the rate these animals move I figure that, starting from the Middle-east 5000 years ago, they'd just about be reaching South America now. Can any YEC help me to understand the story of the sloths?
I don't understand what it is you don't understand. The Sloths had to flat hump it to get to South America, flat hump it.
Now they tired. Give them time to get a second wind and they'll flat hump it again.
Just watch out. Once they get rolling you don't whant to get caught in the route of a rampant sloth.
The Sloths had to flat hump it to get to South America
Don't forget that back then, South America wasn't all that far away as the continents had yet to separate. So they had a mere 2000 or so miles to amble, and then they surfed the rest of the way as South America catastrophically sped its way across the Atlantic... you can almost feeel the wind sweeping back their ears as they trembled at the sheer exhilaration of continent riding...
Seems to me that the easiest explanation is the most obvious.
As the flood waters receded, Noah et. al. simply did a whirlwind, around the Globe cruise, dropping each critter off where they were supposed to be. You gotta figure there were some big ass currents flowing as the water went, well, wherever it went.
It wasn't goddidit. It was GodEx.

Well, Magellan almost made it around the globe before he got killed and it only took 3 years to circumnavigate the globe... and that's with a lot more sailing know-how than what Noah had to work with...

So Noah, you'd figure what? At least ten? He'd be getting pretty cabin crazy by then... Maybe it's time to consider more speed data.
Jar, would these be the African or the European sloths?
another retarded reply. Even though I printed my point, people in here seem to be stuck on rebuking a point, that I did not make, I was very specific.
If you can't see that, and you guys are the "experts" in supposedly trying to find out how an animal could have possibly got there, then it always makes me question the abilities of the so called "smart people", since I am just dumb. I do not sit and ponder how the anilmals got there, the whole flood thing, was obviously a GodDunnit event anyway, why try to figure it out? Does it mean that God desn't exist for you or something?
OK fine and dandy, i apologize, if i (we) misconstrued your point.
Apology accepted, thank you very much, your a good man.
Now can you provide your explanation for the animals in Australia?
No I can't, but I can tell you how to install geothermal heating and A/C in your house.
What about the uniqueness of life in isolated places? (biogeography)
No, again, but I am amazed by life, and how it gets anywhere. I watch mostly National geographic channel, and PBS in HD, and I always get amazed at just what life can accomplish, given some time, even short amounts of time.
What about mobility challenged and specialized life like blind and earless moles or blind cave fish?
I am not convinced that they evolved that way, or were just designed to do become that.

You stated that it "makes you think" and was "amazing" that deer are repopulating Staten island. We replied no it is not but perfectly understandable. No mystery at all.
I for one, am not an "expert" in animal migrations. However it does not take an expert to understand the implications of biogeography and the impossibility of a kangaroo or kola bear swimming or rafting transoceanic.
