Sloth Bear: In December, a delightful sloth bear cub was born to Kayla, the Zoo’s 7-year-old female and 6-year old Bhalu. Debuting in March on the Zoo’s new Facebook Live Program- Philly Zoo at 2pm, the cub is growing by leaps and bounds. In April, the Zoo enlisted the help of the public to choose its name. The cub’s keeper team assembled a set of possible names, which were connected by geography or language to sloth bears’ native range in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. One problem – because we’ve been almost entirely hands-off with the cub, we’re actually not sure of the sex – the keeper team is leaning toward male, but hasn’t committed yet! So, the potential names all needed to be appropriate for either a boy or girl.
