Wild Milestones: Our Baby Sloth Tries Sweet Potato!
Channel: Denver Zoo
Date: 18/02/2023

We can’t believe how quickly our baby Linne’s two-toed sloth is growing and we’re happy to share that mom Charlotte and her little one are continuing to thrive in their Tropical Discovery home! This sloth pup is quite adventurous, loves taking in the sights while safely snuggled in with mom, and has even started to eat solid food! Sloths ween quickly, so keepers are offering the baby bites of steamed vegetables. So far, it looks like we have a sweet potato fan on our hands!  
 
We know you're ready to find out the sex and name of our new sloth, and we have some news for you! Check back here Monday, February 20, for an announcement about the sex and how you can help name our new baby! In the meantime, watch this little sloth enjoy bites of sweet potato and hang with mom in this latest Wild Milestones, presented by Children's Hospital Colorado. 🦥
