Happy International Sloth Day! 🦥 They may not move like Jagger, but they will slow walk right into your heart when you see our Linnaeus’s Two Toed Sloth and NEW TO THE ZOO Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth! The Linnaeus’s Two Toed Sloth is native to the rainforests of northern South America. The Hoffman’s Two Toed Sloth looks like a teddy bear and can be found in the tropical forest tree canopies from Nicaragua to Peru and Central Brazil and northern South America, feeding on leaves, twigs, and fruits.

🦥Baby sloth update 🦥 Newborn two-toed sloths use the stomach of their mother as a cradle and are well camouflaged in their fur so it can be quite difficult to spot them. Why not come along this bank holiday weekend to see if you can spot our new arrival? Plan your adventure today: www.belfastzoo.co.uk | Belfast Zoo

Our new Linnes two-toed sloth baby looks to be very keen to wean! Baby sloths are typically nursed for around six months, but despite our newest addition being just five-weeks-old, it is already extremely eager to try mum’s crunchy vegetables for itself! We’re still not sure of the baby’s sex, so it hasn’t got a name yet, but keepers report it is big and very confident already! | Dudley Zoo
