Poor little guy. Good job, officer!
Thank you for showing your humanity and saving this beautiful creature
I used to be a sloth…
Furry dude looked at the cop like like “ Hold Up I just wanted to get across the road ,officer ,Sir. “☺️🙏👍
You just saved him a 20 day trip right there. 😂👏🏾
Poor animals.
Is that a slough
Good man, taking his time out to stop and rescue this beautiful creature so it wouldn’t get hit by a vehicle ❤
Sloth is like dam* …was trying to cross that road for 10hrs and you put me back on the same side
safeanimalsir
Yeah, when he waved it look like he was saying hey dude, see you tomorrow. Thanks for coming by.
I wish we had Sloss in North America. I think that would be a cool animal to see and possibly own one.
He wants to go to another side of the road!!! That he was heading, must start over again 😅 will take another two days.
I find there are quite a lot of sloths on the roads , especially on Sundays.
Ewww he actually picked it up with bare hands 🤢🤮
G🌏🙌🇺🇸
This is awesome ❤️
"Slow down im crossin' here!" -the sloth

كان معكم السكير العربيد الأمير/وليد محمد سعيد محمد من اليمن
في كثير سكاره عندنا باليمن والعالم كله كله سكرااااااااان رجال نساء من غير خمر سكاره وماهم بسكاره
That sloth knew wat is was doing that's why it was waving to ppl.
And I didn’t know they had sloths in Peru!🤔☺️
And we are to believe this creature made it from South America to Iraq where the ark was prior to the flood, and then somehow made it back again yet it needs help crossing a road.
Sloths dont bite?
What a shame. The slot was headed to the other side of the road. Thanks for nothing!
Police are also more interested in posing for video rather than rescuing the sloth quickly and returning it to the jungle. 😑
Good job, sir. But next time, slow down. That poor thing is probably so confused. 😅
Would’ve took him ten years to get across
Poor guy looks like a burn victim
Sloths, the definition of chill!
Why did the sloth cross the road? He didn't. ":^)
Love how he waved to the bike!❤
Ty, kind sir❤
