Here in Brazil we have a forest animal we name 'preguiça' -- literally,
lazyness. What better mascot we could have for Haskell? It lives (and
sleeps) in trees, and if you see the main picture in wikipedia articles
you can easily imagine the tree branch beeing replaced by a lambda:

The article says:
"Sloths therefore have very large, specialized, slow-acting stomachs
with multiple compartments in which symbiotic bacteria break down the
tough leaves."
Clearly a reference to the evil mangler.
