Zoo Atlanta’s newest sloth was born Oct. 30, and its family is expected to return to outdoor display in spring. The infant is Nutella and Cocoa’s third offspring, the zoo announced Thursday, Nov. 12. It has not yet been named.
Nutella is a Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth. The sloths are indoors because they do not tolerate cooler temperatures well, zoo officials said. The family is expected to return to display when it goes back outside in spring.
Hoffmann’s two-toed sloths are not currently considered endangered, though they face growing threats in the wild.
