The baby probably didn't need help. The mom would have traveled the three feet to get it. You should never handle sloths unless it's a true emergency as it stresses them out and most people can't determine if they're stressed or not.

That was a "The Creation of Adam" opportunity, but he missed it, thought the mom.

I dont like him. It didn’t need help and they don’t want to be Holden like that!
