Transit police in Ecuador noticed this sloth struggling to
cross Quevedo's recently opened highway. Officer Aguayo stopped his patrol car
to go check on the 'oso perezoso,' as they're known in the area. That
translates to 'lazy bear.'
The sloth was taken to a veterinarian who specializes these
types of creatures. The little guy was determined to be OK and taken back to
its habitat.
After the sloth was found, checked out and released, the
executive director of the Ecuador Transit Commission gave order that all
animals found on streets and highways have to be immediately attended to.
