Antônio Luiz Laghi, a 73-year-old resident of the Ponta Negra neighborhood of Manaus, Brazil was about to go to a doctor’s appointment when he suddenly found anirresistibly cutecreature calmly hanging on the wheel staring at him.
The short clip about this unexpected encounter with a wild sloth instantly went viral all over the world and has already been viewed more than 1.5 million times.
Bruno explained that his father left the windows of his car open the evening before because he wanted the vehicle to cool off, and that, it appears, was the perfect opportunity for an uninvited new pal to occupy the driver’s seat.

People couldn’t stop laughing watching the hilarious encounter and also cracked a fewjokesabout it.
“Literally when you want to do something and laziness won’t let you,” wrote one of the commentators next to the clip.
“How people from the United States think life is like for everyone here in Brazil,” another one wrote.
This funny story somehow reminded me of one filmed some years ago when the guy who uploaded it joked that he had just saved 50 years of traveling for this sloth. The huge smile on the animal’s face as it comfortably sat on the boat, pondering the journey, is priceless. You can watch ithere.
Speaking of water, it’s probably interesting to mention that sloths can swim three times faster than they can move on the ground.
Another interesting fact is that thesesweet animalsare anatomically designed to fall out of trees. They can plummet from over 100 feet without injury.
Being so slow mostly has to do with sloths’ vision; they have a very rare condition called rod monochromacy. It means that sloths lack cone cells in their eyes, therefore are colorblind. They see poorly in dim light and are completely blind in bright daylight.
These animals are also known for their slightly crazy bathroom habits. Sloths will only relieve themselves once a week and at that time they can lose up to a third of their body weight!

Sloths were first mentioned inscientificliterature in 1749, where they were labelled as ‘the lowest form of existence’ due to their extraordinary low metabolic rate, which allows the animals to spend an astonishing 15 to 20 hours per day sleeping.
While most species of sloths are not considered endangered, human expansion definitely affects the sloth’s habitat, therefore they can appear in some unusual situations.
Antônio and his son happened to experience one and I’m sure they won’t forget this lazy, smiling guest for a long time.
The adorable video melted hearts all over the internet
