A team of international student volunteers posing for a portrait at the end of their sojourn in Costa Rica were joined by a surprise intruder: a sloth, who slow-bombed the picture at the last second.

The furry little leaf-eater, usually linked to inactivity and lazing about in trees, dropped down as photographer Manuel Ramirez, 44, was about to push the button and shoot.

"As I looked through the camera lens, I could see something creeping in to the frame," Britain's Telegraph news website quoted him as saying. "When I realized it was a baby sloth, I clicked the button as fast as I could — not that he was going anywhere fast."
