ABOVE THE TROPICAL FOREST – Sometimes everything is very clear and straightforward. We may want to complicate it, but there is no need to.
When the movie “Snakes on a Plane” came out, some of us were wondering, “What movie is this?” What a stupid thing to be surprised. It’s very clear in the title. It’s a movie about snakes on a plane, hence the name “Snakes on a plane”.
That’s how I felt about this video.
When I wrote the headline “Baby encounters sloth on zipline in Costa Rica,” I think I accounted for it pretty well. But I can still explain it to you if you like.
In the video, a child rides a zipline in Costa Rica. He seems to be having fun, but then, on the line, he finds a sloth who is just hanging out running into him. So, as I mentioned in the title, in Costa Rica, a child encounters a sloth.
The video mentions that neither the child nor the sloth were harmed, so I think that gives a little more context. But at the end of the day, this is my “Snakes on the Plane” moment. The video is pretty clear. So enjoy it because it’s pretty cool.
And I have to pass that on to this guy who stays calm and collected during all of this while hanging over the rainforest canopy — and the sloth who seems to be saying, “Ah, don’t worry, man. Everything is fine. Are you okay? Cool. Let me slowly get out of your way.”
