Lost its way. It is maybe 3 to 4 months old, not old enough to survive without its mother. This is a three-toed sloth, and the mother will look for it when they are separated (the two-toed sloths will stay with their mother longer, though if they are separated, the mom gives up and abandons the baby).
This little critter was found on the ground in an awkward position. Efron put it back in a tree and it climbed up a bit, but then didn't move for the next 12 hours, not normal for a little one. We called the local animal rescue center and they came out to check it out and take it to their center to nurse it back to health (hopefully).
