Welcome to the world, baby sloth!
"Capron Park Zoo is thrilled to announce the arrival of a bouncing baby Hoffmann’s Two-Toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni). Keepers found the infant snuggled up and nursing mom, Narisa, while dad, Ollie, watched closely from nearby. Keepers and veterinary staff will be monitoring mom and the pup closely to ensure their well-being, especially in these early days. Narisa has excellent mothering skills, so we hope this baby will grow big and strong... with minimal intervention, but we are ready to provide support if needed. If you’re lucky, you might get a peak of the zoo’s newest and arguably cutest resident tucked under Narisa’s arm in the sloth exhibit, inside the building located around the back of the otter exhibit. This little one does not yet have a name, so stay tuned! Our sloths are part of a Species Survival Plan (SSP) for Hoffman’s Two-Toed Sloths designed to bolster the survival of a species through breeding conscientiously with genetic diversity at the forefront. This new addition to the population is a step in the right direction for the conservation of this species and Capron Park Zoo is honored to play a role!"
