Marcelo Sueth, an adventure tour guide based out of Rio de Janeiro, said he was on a trail near the city last month when he spotted the sloth relaxing on a tree branch.

The tour guide used a selfie stick to snap a shot of himself with the seemingly smiling mammal as it posed with one arm hanging off the tree. "It was an amazing moment of interaction and exchange of good energy," Sueth told ABC News. Sueth posted the shot to his Instagram account and it was later posted to Imgur, where it went viral with more than two million views.
