Is that a river monster?

A video of a hairy creature has taken social media by storm.

The viral video shows a greenish slow creature crawling out of the river.

FACT CHECK

NewsMeter performed a reverse image search that led us to a youtube channel that shows the full version of the video.

You can spot the viral clip at the time stamp of 1:00 minutes on the full version of the Youtube video.

By closely analyzing the video, we figured out that it's a sloth crawling all over the internet being viral as a monster.

Don't worry! It's just a sloth swimming and enjoying a summer afternoon. The one we really adore for being lethargic and insanely slow.

Why is it green in color then?

Oh! It is just the green fungus deposited over the surface of the water.

Hence, the claim is false.
