Three-Toed Sloth

We were taking a boat ride on a river when we noticed a sloth in the water. The guide said that sometimes they jump out of trees to avoid predators, and they can swim - but very slowly. The guides pulled him out of the water with an oar. The sloth seemed relieved.
They encouraged the sloth to climb onto a nearby tree, but he refused. Sloths are very strong and have long, sharp nails, so it is difficult to move them.
The sloth ended up taking a boat ride to the dock where they could get more people to help take him to a tree.
