A sloth who gained worldwide fame after an adorable photo emerged on social media has a new home.
The oso perezoso, which translates to lazy bear, was found by transit police and appeared to be frightened as it clung to a barrier along the highway.
The Ecuador Highway Commission shared photos of the encounter on their Facebook page.
The sloth was checked out by a veterinarian and released back into its habitat.
In a recent Facebook update, the Ecuador Highway Commission showed how happy the sloth is to be in its new home.
El oso perezoso más famoso del mundo se encuentra feliz en su hábitat. Gracias a todos por preocuparse. *Las fotos...
