The San Diego Zoo welcomed the birth of a sloth pup in early February, making it the first of its species to be born there since 2022.
The 12-year-old mother sloth, Xena, gave birth to her third pup on Feb. 8, according to a zoo announcement.
A zoo spokesperson said the newborn will spend time with its mother over the next few months as it grows.
“Sloth mothers are very in tune with the needs of their newborns and will allow their pups to cling to their chest after birth so they can be cleaned off and nurse,” the zoo spokesperson said.
The newborn may join Xena during presentations at the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp when it’s older, the announcement said.
Xena has two other pups, Tornero and Colheita.
