Disoriented Sloth Catches Free Ride To Safety On Boat Paddle (Video)

Sloths are not know for their great speed or excessive intelligence, they are known for being slow moving creatures that are charmingly disoriented. And this guy represents his species pretty well. While in Costa Rica enjoying a boat ride, a sloth was discovered in a boat traffic heavy area, certainly not where a sloth should be! This guy was definitely not prepared for what came next as he enjoyed what will probably be the fastest ride of his life!

A little more from the original poster- "While in Tortuguera, Costa Rica, we noticed a sloth in mid-stream. Concerned that it was too far from shore and in the middle of a heavy boat traffic area, we decided to see if it wanted to be rescued. It seems that it did -- hitching a ride on a paddle. We're guessing the world has never gone by so fast for that sloth!" Via Gayle Stokes.
