It has the arrival of the happy news at Virginia Zoo.
On March 8, the date proved to be a great day for the zoo as they welcomed their first-ever sloth baby to beautiful parents Honey and Mervin.
The sloth was born healthy and weighed 1 pound on birth. The baby was born with a thick fur, with his nails and teeth all in place, and his beautiful eyes wide open.
Vet of the zoo, Colleen Clabbers announced it on the website of the zoo saying “the baby is healthy and is doing great. His mother nurses him and he even eats a little of cooked vegetables with his mother or the caretaker.”
The baby and the family spend most of their day sleeping. They are receiving the utmost care by the staff as the baby is often clinging to his mother.
From the very start, right from birth, the sloth babies learn how to stick to their mother’s chest. This helps them in hiding from predators.
To let the baby in his space and because the baby and the mother are increasing their bond right now, we keep our hands off from the baby.
As the baby is still very young, the staff members and caretakers are keeping the mother and the baby both under strict observation.
It is time they must be going under a lot of changes which can cause transformations in their behavior as well.
In order to raise money for the zoo and animals, the zoo has come up with a great plan. The zoo is going to organize an auction for the adorable sloth baby. The highest bidder is going to get the opportunity to name the sloth baby.
This is very exciting and will attract a lot of bidders as well.
