Today we`re celebrating International Sloth Day! 🦥
Did you know the type of sloth housed at Abilene Zoo is a Linnaeus two-toed sloth? Two-toed sloths can be recognized by their four pointed pseudo-canines at the front of their mouths. Sloths also spend a significant amount of their lives hanging upside-down. Because of this constant exercise, adult sloths are pound-for-pound stronger than humans! Help us celebrate our two sloths, Marvin and Sadie below in the comments.
If you`re as big of a fan of sloths as we are, then you can meet these animals by booking an up-close sloth tour at: https://bit.ly/3U5sdug
