Happy International Sloth Day! 🦥 They may not move like Jagger, but they will slow walk right into your heart when you see our Linnaeus’s Two Toed Sloth and NEW TO THE ZOO Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth! The Linnaeus’s Two Toed Sloth is native to the rainforests of northern South America. The Hoffman’s Two Toed Sloth looks like a teddy bear and can be found in the tropical forest tree canopies from Nicaragua to Peru and Central Brazil and northern South America, feeding on leaves, twigs, and fruits.

Female pygmy three-toed sloths signal it’s time to mate by letting out a scream. If there’s a competition between another potential suitor, then it’s game on. The two males will battle for her affection by hanging from branches by their feet and pawing at each other. Grab a mate and explore the world’s creatures with the BBC’s natural history collection, available now on discovery . Start streaming here: http://discoverypl.us/2X8jmak #discoveryplus | Discovery
