Sloth climbs tree with ease after being rescued

Just over a year after this sloth was found on the side of the road, it's learning to climb with great speed and agility.

The adorable sloth was just a few months old when it was rescued, but has excelled at climbing. He's currently being looked after at the Jaguar Rescue Center in Costa Rica.
