Three-toed Sloth
Crossing the highway outside Paramaribo, Suriname. I had seen a pair of videos taken in Costa Rica of a similar event just prior to this trip, one of which was matched with a remix of the song 'I Believe I Can Fly' (easily found on YouTube). My colleagues said they hadn't seen one in over a year and - just a little while later - we came across this guy doing same thing. They're painfully slow and clearly not made for moving horizontally. When a car came by, he'd lower his head (slowly). A local picked him up, just like in the videos, and gently placed him on the far side.
