For the first time in nearly 10 years, a baby sloth has been born at Bristol Zoo Gardens!

Eight-year-old mum Trixie gave birth to the new arrival recently.

Al Toyne, Mammals Team Leader, said: “It’s almost 10 years since a sloth has been born at Bristol Zoo. It’s doing really well and we are all delighted.

“People are fascinated by sloths because of how they look and how they live and we are looking forward to the Zoo reopening so people can come and see it for themselves.”
