Hairy rocker meets hairy sloth (you decide which is which)
Bret Michaels took the stage at Tampa's Busch Gardens on Sunday for the parks' Bands, Brew and BBQ series. But before launching into his '80s hair metal anthems, Michaels took time out for a photo op with Harry the Sloth. (Which also would make for a good band name.)
"Thanks to its thick, shaggy hair, the sloth has an unusual, symbiotic relationship with algae, which grows on its coat and aids in camouflaging the sloth as it hangs from tree branches," Busch Gardens reports.
Very interesting. Wish they'd provided details on Harry as well.
