Sloth Crosses Road – Cuteness Ensues

I know that sloths are adorable and cute but when this little guy attended “cute school”, he must have graduated at the top of his class.

Transit police in Ecuador noticed this adorable sloth struggling to cross Quevedo’s recently opened highway. They posted the below collection of pictures on their facebook page.

Officer Aguayo stopped his patrol car to go check on the ‘oso perezoso,’ as they’re known in the area. That translates to ‘lazy bear.’

The sloth was clinging tightly to a crash barrier when it was found. The transit police were tasked with rescuing it.

After being rescued, the sloth was taken to a veterinarian for a thorough check over. The little guy was determined to be OK and taken back to its habitat.

Yay for the traffic police and the amazing job they did saving the life of this beautiful little sloth!
