A couple vacationing in Costa Rica pulled over while driving on a rural road to help a struggling pedestrian: a lost tree sloth. <br /><br />The pair were being driven near Aguirre, Puntarenas in southeast Costa Rica on February 5, when their driver spotted the beleaguered sloth trying to make the crossing. <br /><br />The driver then got out and carried it across the road before placing it into a tree, while the sloth was waving its arms, as if waving goodbye. <br /><br />The filmer commented: "It was obvious to us that if we did not help the little Sloth get across the road he might have been hit by a car as he was taking a very long time crossing.<br /><br />"The sloth seems so very happy at the end of the video that he was returned to safety and got a 'lift' across the road. It seems that he gave us a big smile."
