Mystery Mammal

Cat’s tongue rough
And ghost-like grey,
With eyes all shiny
Admirable in the day.
Shimmering black nose
Shining in the pitch black night,
And although it’s cute
It may give you a fright!
Slow and lazy
Like a turtle in the blazing sun,
But sometimes, just sometimes
They will…
Run! Run! Run!
Do you know what my object is?
Well, here’s one more clue…
If you have it as a pet,
It will learn to love you.
My object’s a sloth!
