So what happened to the sloth??? Don't bury the lead, man!

  The sloth was returned to his owner and I did tip him. That kid is probably still prowling the Amazon (as an adult now), looking for sucker tourists like me.

    You probably should have taken the kid to small claims, that was extortion

      Great way to end up on the no-sloth list

        On a list sold out later to a most vicious data broker after their boat-sloth enterprise went out of business.

        Put the sloth between me and the kid and let the sloth choose. It's the only fair way to do it!

      Should have kept the sloth.

        Shouldn’t have accepted the sloth in the first place. They may look cute and docile, but also have a panic reflex to grab onto the nearest tree-like thing they can feel with their claws, including their would-be attacker. Or if they just feel like they’re about to fall off their “tree” since they have horrible eyesight and get confused easily. Which then leads to a cycle of pain and violence as they just dig-in harder and harder while trying to free them and/or fling them around wildly due to the human's “get this thing off me” response to sharp claws digging into their flesh. There are some painful-to-watch videos on YouTube of this phenomenon from unsuspecting passersby tying to “help” them off the road/beach/etc and ultimately making things worse for everyone involved.

    Fantastic hustle from the kid. Game recognize game.
