😴Two-toed sloth Athena takes #NatZooZen to a whole new level! This serial chiller 💤 sleeps 15-20 hours a day, but not because she's lazy! Sloths sleep to conserve the energy they get from their primary diet: leaves.🍃 While foliage does not provide a ton of nutrients, sloths' very slow metabolism allows them to function on less. #BringtheZootoYou #ClosedButStillCaring #SlothLife SLOTH FACTS: https://s.si.edu/3gvYwtJ | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

Baby sloths are typically nursed for around six months, but despite our newest addition being just five-weeks-old, it is already extremely eager to try mum’s crunchy vegetables for itself! We’re still not sure of the baby’s sex, so it hasn’t got a name yet, but keepers report it is big and very confident already! | Dudley Zoo | Facebook
