A video taken by a Winnipegger who was vacationing in Costa Rica is melting a lot of hearts on YouTube.
Rachael Hosein and her fiancé visited the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica after seeing a feature about the organization.
While there, Hosein captured a touching moment on video of Matty, a baby three-toed sloth gently giving their tour guide a hibiscus petal, while seeming to smile.
Hosein called it "the best day of my life."
The video was posted on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and has 600,000 views.
