A zookeeper at the ZSL Zoo in London is rearing a cute baby sloth using a soft toy as its surrogate mother. The London-based zookeeper Kelly-Anne Kelleher stated that she got the toy as a gift from a gift shop for the baby sloth to substitute its mother. The sloth’s birth mother stopped breeding milk for its child and could not take care of it.
The Soft Toy Will Help The Cute Baby Sloth Grow in London Zoo
The sloth can climb all around the teddy bear and make itself comfortable whenever it wants to be. The zookeeper will monitor the growth of the sloth over time. The zookeeper believes that the baby will use all the muscles if not a toy but its mother. As soon as the baby is grown up and able to feed himself, it will return to its natural family and habitat.
Do you think other zoos should be more innovative in taking care of the animals? Also, what are your thoughts on this cute baby sloth and his new toy, surrogate mother? Let us know.
