Fjords Are Unique Landforms
By Cindy Grigg
A fjord (also spelled fjiord) is one type of sea inlet. These unique landforms are long and narrow fingers of the sea that poke water into coastlines. They have high, vertical, rocky cliffs on parallel sides. Fjords (say: fyohrds) were carved out by glaciers. Thousands of years ago, glaciers glided toward the sea, gouging out deep, U-shaped valleys. When the ice melted, sea levels rose, and water filled the valleys. Fjords contain very deep water, although they may be shallower at the seacoast than at their farthest points inland. Norway is famous for the majestic fjords along its western coast. Some of Norway's fjords reach more than one hundred miles inland. Fjords are also found along the coasts of Alaska, British Columbia (Canada), Greenland, Scotland, Antarctica, New Zealand, and Chile.

Slow and Steady--The Sloth
By Jody Williams
edHelper
Caption: A three-toed sloth at the Dallas zoo enjoying a snack.
The sloth is known as the slowest mammal in the world. Green algae sometimes grows on its back. The algae helps to hide it. The sloth spends most of its time in the trees. It lives in Central and South America. The rain forest is its home.
Sloths spend most of their time hanging in the treetops. They have long claws on each front foot. Some sloths have three toes. Others have two. Sloths sleep in the trees. They sleep a lot. They may sleep about fifteen hours a day. Sloths also give birth while in the trees. The babies cling to their mothers. They travel with them for the first nine months of their life.
Sloths are rarely seen on land. Their back legs are very weak. Their long claws make it hard to travel. They are good swimmers. Some have been seen falling from the trees into a river. Their long arms help them move through the water. Maybe that is their chance to see the world at a faster pace.
