That's probably way more accurate than you think. It's a sloth, I sincerely don't think it understand the complex idea of "helping" and empathy. Way more likely that it's a type of "fight/flight" response, since that's present in pretty much all mammals.
Downvoted because of several reasons: 1. Don't touch wild animals. 2. Don't touch wild animals, what the fuck did I just say? Are you retarded? Didn't anyone teach you this shit in elementary school? 3. That sloth was taking a crap, don't fucking touch it. 4. The world is not your little Disney movie you dumbfuck, it's not "thanking you", stop being obtuse.
5. It's a video being posted online for views. How can you even be sure this asshole didn't drag this sloth away to just later "rescue" it, as so many previous douchebags have done.
Stop fucking with wild animals. Just take the goddamn pictures and leave. Goddammit.
And next the Guy With A Camera went to help some budding butterflies from their cocoons, and birds from their eggs, before finishing up his good deeds by defending a deer from being eaten by a panther.
Helpful guy just totally messed up that poor sloth's month. Hugging the base of a tree like that, is how they do their monthly bowel movement, which he apparently interrupted.
There's an episode of Nature on PBS about Velcro the orphaned sloth. The lady that raised Velcro said that raising him was the second hardest thing she has ever done. What was the hardest thing? Asked the interviewer. "Letting him go."
And I thank them for their service around mouthfuls of guacamole and avocado toast! But still not sloth bears. Those guys are just giant ground sloths. Or maybe just ground sloths, I don't know if they came in nonmegafauna sizes back in the day.

"Thanks" the photographer, or pathetically tries to throw hands at him?

Keep your mitts off the wildlife.

In his hour of need, that sloth will turn up to help (5 years late).

Baby had to poop, no need to rush him.

I has a funny mouth because it eats mostly insects.

Don’t they climb down to pee and poop?
JesaraB
Yep, and they hug the base of the tree, just like that... he interrupted that kid in the bathroom.

The baby would have been fully grown by the time she got down there herself.
bekindtoanimals
HA!
YpsilantiRomani
No it wouldn't have, moter sloths don't usually even try to rescue fallen babies
JesaraB
It's not a fallen baby, mom was less than 10 feet away, and it was in 'bathroom' position on the base of the tree, it was about to go poo.

That is NOT a sloth bear, that's just a sloth. The difference is, uh, pretty significant.

“Just” how reductive

I mean using the sloth bear for reference, that photographer is huuugee

one of the most aggressive bears in the world, since they're in competition with tigers. frequently goes for the face

Yeah. I only recently learned what badasses they were.

Sloths got bigger before

Too bad humans killed them all. :(

You're right, not bears. I just take every chance to post megafauna.
