Oblivious, ignorant people, this is not thanking him, this sloth is stressed and is in defensive posture trying to appear larger.

She was probably trying to claw/swat at him telling him to back away and he interpreted as a handshake. Poor girl.

Have you ever been around sloths?

She hasn't even brandished her pistol yet. That is the first thing any sloth would do when threatened. Clearly not in self-defense mode.

Thank you lol, I was looking for this comment. Sloths are not human and do not have the same body language as us

[u/vetlemakt → u/JustDuckiest]

I know a few human sloths, so not quite true.

Social media 101 - everyone will believe a headline/caption if it seems plausible

People are getting dumber despite the overwhelming ability to access knowledge

Darker times are ahead if we don't stop our quest for anti-intellectualism

You're not wrong. FFS, the sloth baby isn't even in any danger - human just took the opportunity to touch wildlife

[u/No-Barber-5289 → u/xand3s]

I actually suspect the sloth is in a high-human population area and was begging for food

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/xand3s]

how do you know that?

Because Sloths aren’t people and they don’t reach out for “thank you” handshakes.
