Baby Sloth Born at the Lufkin Zoo

LUFKIN – There is a new arrival at the Ellen Trout Zoo in Lufkin. The Zoo’s Facebook page says the zoo’s two-toed Linne’s sloth’s gave birth to a baby last Tuesday. They can be found in the Small Animal Building near the entrance to the zoo. The zoo’s staff says the baby may be hard to see because she naturally holds onto her mother or father. During this time, the parents tend to curl up in a ball to hide the infant.
