Proving we’re all the same when it comes to matters of the heart, this amazing BBC Earth clip shows a frisky male sloth answering the call of love by jumping in the ocean and swimming to find his lady friend in need.
Acting out what's essentially the animal kingdom version of a booty call, the male pygmy three-toed sloth is seen slowly but very determinedly paddling in the sea after hearing a female calling from across the water.
According to the video, with only a few hundred of these sloths in existence “he must go for every chance he gets”.
In human terms, we're guessing this is pretty much the equivalent of just before they turn the lights on at the dancefloor at the end of the night.
After what seems like ages (and probably is, considering how fast our little sloth friends move), he reaches the bank.
But in a cruel twist of fate, the female he finds has a baby, which means she won’t mate again for six months.
Just when it seems like all hope is lost, the sound of another female calling out is heard echoing off the water, and our horny hero sets off again.
Best. Video. Ever.
