0:16Now PlayingAccording to the zoo, the infant sloth – referred to as a pup or a slow-bie – was born on December 18.
The mom, a 9-year-old Hoffman’s two-toed sloth named Aysan, was brought to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on a breeding recommendation by the Hoffmann’s Two-Toed Sloth Species Survival Plan.
The baby did not yet have a name and was bonding with mom Aysan out of public view.
“I love the way it lifts its head out of her chest fur and slowly looks around, just kind of taking it all in,” Scutes Family Gallery’s lead keeper Amber Callen-Ward said in a statement. “Aysan has been a great first-time mom, grooming the baby by licking its face, which is so sweet. She and the baby have been bonding well.”
The zoo said that it will let guests know once Aysan and her baby are able to be viewed by the public.
