Police rescue a cute sloth that was stuck on a motorway.

This is the precise moment that an unexpected guest was seen clinging to the metal post on the side of the road.

It was a sloth! The long-limbed adventurer was spotted in Quevedo, Ecuador before being scooped up by local police.

The sloth was picked up by Ecuadorian traffic officers and taken to the vet in one of the cutest rescues ever.

The officers transported him back to the nearby woodland after he seemed to be in good health.
Fortunately for us, the police took photos and posted them on Facebook for our viewing pleasure.

Hope this sloth doesn’t attempt to cross the street once again!
