We came across this three-toed sloth struggling to cross the road between Arenal Volcano and San Jose. We formed a loose cordon to keep cars from running the guy over. He made it, slowly.

To answer some questions in the comments:
a) it took 5-10 minutes for the sloth to cross half the road
b) it was covered in bugs and algae and had long sharp claws - no way were we going to pick that thing up
c) WE DIDN'T CARRY A BROOM WITH US.

  • They see me rollin, they hatin

  • I thought this was really funny, especially because it looks like the little sloth is putting it's face on the ground like "Dammit, why am I here?" I think these people are awesome for helping it not get it's fat adorkable little self killed. Thumbs up if you learned about the badassery that these were through Cracked.
