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

One of the most exciting parts of the year is taking place right now at Abilene Zoo! 🦋 Thousands of monarch butterflies are making their way south for the winter and making stops right here in Abilene. As part of the monarch SAFE program and home to a certified waystation, Abilene Zoo is proud to play a part in conserving this endangered species. Currently, several garden beds and trees are covered with monarchs. While harsh weather could limit how many you see, be sure to come by soon to observe this native American species in action.
