Heartwarming Video Shows a Kind Man Helping a Sloth Cross The Road
The Pet Zealot ^ | February 09, 2023 | James Alain L.

Posted on 03/04/2023 8:47:26 AM PST by allen592

In a viral Pinterest video, a good Samaritan is seen carrying a three-toed sloth that is slowly crossing a road. The man not only helps the sloth cross the road but also carries it to a tree to make things easier for the animal. Once on the tree's body, the sloth happily continues its tedious journey.

The heartwarming moment is when the man waves the sloth goodbye and the animal smiles back as if to say thank you.

“and the animal smiles back”

Sloths hit the ground when they need to relieve themselves.

The smile would must like be when dogs finish their business and are happy.

Suspect that he he sloth took a dump while the guy carried it.

The three toed sloth has a permanent smile built into its face.

Little to do with its emotional state.

Pure anthropomorphism.

... The sloth’s reaction is precious!

It does look as if the critter waves a friendly "goodbye" or salute to his helper.

Cats use the same “slow blink” eye movement towards humans to express thanks or contentment in companionship.
