First Glimpse: Newborn Sloth in the Rainforest
Loading...
Uploaded by nataquarium on Feb 26, 2010
National Aquarium, Baltimore, Rainforest staff have confirmed that Rose, a two-toed sloth, has given birth to her second baby. Roses first offspring, Howie, arrived in September 2008, and was the first sloth born in the Aquarium.
The new baby has been attached to its mother, and aquarists suspect it will remain that way for several weeks. The baby is approximately 8 inches long, and was born fully haired with its trademark claws. As time goes on, the young sloth will begin exploring its immediate surroundings and eating solid foods. Sloths can remain dependent on their mothers for up to one year. The animal care staff will respect the natural process and allow Rose to care for her baby.
Rose and her new infant are free roaming in the Upland Tropical Rain Forest exhibit. While there are no guarantees that the animals will be visible during everyones visit, there is a good chance that at least one of the three adult sloths can be seen.
