One very chill sloth has been snapped apparently posing for a selfie with a hiker.
The grinning sloth was captured half hanging from a tree in a photo shot by London-based Andrew Bloch with the aid of a selfie-stick, while he was reportedly trekking through a South American forest.
It was then posted to imgur and Twitter.
“I'm totally against the selfie-stick but every now and then an exception comes along,” Mr Bloch wrote in his Twitter post.
The photo has since received millions of views and tens of thousands of retweets and likes.
Some social media users have celebrated the cute encounter, while others offered potential captions for the photo.
“Sloth be like ‘I'm face bombing this clown’,” Twitter user @Jaspertishbine wrote.
Others criticised Mr Bloch for “intruding” in the animal’s natural habitat.
“Really?! Using a selfie-stick to harass wildlife is a spectacularly bad idea,” @CarinaDSLR wrote.
