🦥 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL SLOTH DAY! Today is all a

🦥 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL SLOTH DAY! Today is all about Reynardo, the coolest male Hoffman's two-toed sloth we know! You can spot him hanging out in a tree, munching on his favorite sweet potato sticks, or laid-back and relaxing in his hammock! Make sure to visit Reynardo at his habitat in the South America/Primates building during your next trip to the Zoo. #InternationalSlothDay
.
📌 FUN FACTS: The Hoffman's two-toed sloth is one of the world's slowest mammals, and is identified by the number of long, prominent claws that they have on each front foot. There are both two-toed and three-toed sloths!
