This trip down a zip wire met with the most unexpected obstacle

Of all the obstacles you wouldn’t want to meet halfway down a zip wire, this is surely one of them.

It’s a clip that just went viral on the corner of Reddit called ‘unexpected’ and they’re really not kidding …

‘Just another day zip lining,’ said porkchopsforsaken who shared it.

‘The sloth seemed to have taken it in stride. Also, they seem to be reasonable people. I’m sure he’s chilling somewhere right now eating leaves or whatever tf sloths do.’

‘I feel confident this is in Costa Rica, I met a sloth there while I was out walking on some roads. It was just sitting on the side of the road, it had pulled down a branch and was grabbing leaves and eating them.

‘I came up to it but not terribly close, I didnt want to scare it and it seemed to offer me a leaf. That is it grabbed a leaf and held it out in my direction for maybe 20-30 seconds and then when I didn’t take it, it ate it.

’10/10 encounter, would hang out with a sloth again, I’ve never felt as comfortable near another wild animal before or since.’
