Learn all the alternative pronunciations for words from the Wild Kimgdom host, Marlin. He says “sloath” for sloth. Looked it up, yep acceptable.
It’s not the first time I’ve noticed it.
Btw, they mention the no longer called African country of Rhodesia in a couple of early episodes … now called Zimbabwe.
He says Shimpanzie instead of Chimpanzie. M-w.com says that is legit, less common.
He also REALLY enunciates his "T" sounds. Feels like a educator trying to make sure us kids hear the word as it is spelled. It is so interesting to me, really. It's almost southeastern England style.
Says “REP tul” for reptile, right at the start here (but consistently says it like that in all episodes it seems, this is not an act):
