Sloth Gets Rescued From A Telephone Line (Video)

According to Inside Edition, "A cute sloth was saved from electrocution and certain death after climbing up an electrical pole in Colombia's Antioquia province on Monday afternoon. After receiving calls from worried residents in the rural town of Taraza, workers from Colombian public services holding company Empresas Publicas de Medellin went to the rescue. With safety measures in place, 38-year-old EPM employee Victor Hugo Lopez helped the sloth out."

If you're a longtime fan of I Can Has Cheezburger than you probably already know that sloths are not known for their great speed or excessive intelligence, they are known for being slow moving creatures that are charmingly disoriented. And this cute sloth guy right here represents his species pretty well. Hanging off of a power line in Colombia is 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!
