My favorite animal

My favorite animal is the sloth🦥💓


The sloth is the slowest mammal in the world. They are endemic to the neotropical region, from the Yucatan peninsula in Central America to Brazil.
They have a round head, with a flattened nose and ears so small that they cannot be seen. There are two types of sloths, those with 2 fingers and those with 3 fingers, the latter have a small tail. The sloth can measure between 40 and 70 centimeters.

They have powerful claws, which can measure between 8 and 10 centimeters, and serve as tools for grip and defense.
Algae grow on its coat, which together with its slowness, helps it to go unnoticed in front of its predators.
They have a diet based on stems, young shoots, soft leaves, which do not digest well, due to this they have very large and specialized slow-acting stomachs, it takes up to 50 days to decompose a leaf.

The sloth sleeps most of the time, they only spend 5 hours a day eating and moving. They are agreeable and affable, they avoid confrontation for survival. Males are more solitary, while females generally move in groups.

I like sloths because I consider them beautiful and they have a very loving appearance. But what I like most about them is that they are very interesting animals with very peculiar characteristics, such as that they only defecate once a week or that, despite how slow they are, they are excellent and very fast swimmers. Due to everything mentioned above, it makes them one of my favorite animals.

And of course my favorite sloth in the world is Sid💖

A subject I'm enjoying this semester


My favorite subject this semester is Anatomy🐶🐮🐴
I like it because it is entertaining and interesting, it draws my attention a lot, since it is a subject that is directly related to veterinary medicine, unlike, for example, economic and administrative bases, which it is not a topic closely related to career.

This semester we have seen the differences and similarities between three species, which are dog, bovine and equine. The contents that we have learned are comparative osteology, urinary system, digestive system, respiratory system, etc. During classes I take notes and also underline the most important things both in the "Manual of the dog's anatomy" and in the book "Comparative anatomy", which is useful for me to better understand the subject. I like that Professor Olivares is precise in explaining the most relevant topics and characteristics, without detailing the concepts that are not so important.

I also like Anatomy for the practicals, I am so sorry that this semester we have not been able to, since the contents we are seeing are really interesting, I would have loved to see a lung, for example, or a heart in person. Also the practical ones helped me to understand faster, because they are much more didactic.

My favorite object


My cell phone

I bought my current cell phone about 4 months ago, because the previous one I had was starting to fail.

I love my cell phone, since I have beautiful memories in it. I also like it because it is very useful and I can use it to do various things. I use it to play games, watch series, videos, listen to music, take photos, browse social media, communicate with my family and friends. It was very useful especially when my computer was under repair, since through it, I could to continue connecting to online classes. I use it practically all day, except when I'm studying.

It would be very difficult for me to get used to a life without it, because since the first time i had one, i have never been without a cell phone again. Especially it would be uncomfortable to walk in the street without my cell phone, because with it I feel safer to be able to contact my parents in case of an emergency.

It would be very difficult to be without my cell phone, because it became a fundamental tool in my day to day, since I use it to distract myself, contact my family and also to inform me about different topics.
