Animanimals: Sloth

Have you ever heard a baby sloth? 🦥💚 Baby sloths make sounds to call their mothers. Two-fingered babies, like this one, make a “meep,” while three-fingered babies produce a high-pitched call. This baby was orphaned and cared for at a local rescue center, then reintroduced into the wild. Remember, sloths are not pets! Celebrate #SlothTober and #InternationalSlothDay by visiting our Slothopedia and making a gift to sloths! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

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 | Facebook
