Too cute: Police found the animal holding on to the crash barrier after getting stuck in the middle of the road
Poor thing: As sloths have a top ground speed of just over 6ft per minute, it is believed it started crossing the road and then got stuck when traffic started speeding up
After Quevedo police posted on Facebook about the sloth, the animal has made hundreds of thousands of fans around the globe.
Fortunately for all its fans, it appears the sloth did not suffer from its little adventure.
The Comisión de Tránsito del Ecuador(Ecuador Transit Commission) later added that the sloth had been returned to the rainforest.
‘It has been checked by a vet, who determined that it was in optimal conditions for return to its habitat,’ it wrote on Facebook/
Take me home! Police removed the sloth and – after being checked by a vet – it could return home
