Sloths have a reputation for being very slow, or even lazy.
But like any other animal, they have to do whatever it takes to survive.
As the footage shows, the seemingly peaceful sloth was ready to throw punches and fight for its life.

The ocelot seems to come out of nowhere, and tries to bite the sloth from behind.
The video then shows the sloth crossing a log to get around the forest floor.
The ocelot, feeling its mission is not yet fulfilled, continues to stalk the other creature.
Aware of the danger, the sloth fights off the predator with a few punches.
Knowing he won’t win this time, the ocelot walks away from the frame.
Both two-toed sloths and ocelots are difficult animals to study.
They are quiet, elusive, and hard to find and observe in the wild.
Will there be a rematch between these two?
Or will the sloth finally get to have a peaceful trip to the mineral lick?
