Baby Sloths Welcomed at Adventure Aquarium in Camden

By Khristine Faith June 18, 2020 0 comments

When the aquarium reopens, the incredibly adorable sloths will serve as ambassador animals.

Adventure Aquarium in Camden has two new additions: two baby Linnaeus’s two-toed sloths, named Honey and Molasses.

Both were born with healthy weights and sizes (and are unbelievably cute). Honey was born in late November, while Molasses -- known as Mo -- followed shortly after in December.

Honey, a Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth, is a new addition at Camden's Adventure Aquarium.

Arriving at the aquarium in late March, Honey and Mo are learning how to be handled properly by their primary caretakers. Biologists are also introducing the sloths to numerous climbing structures to help build muscle.

Linnaeus’s two-toed sloths in the wild are primarily located in Central and South America, living high in the canopies of tropical rain forests. Algae grows on their fur to help camouflage them from predators. They are nocturnal, sleeping 15 to 20 hours per day, waking at night to eat an herbivore diet of berries, leaves, small twigs, fruits and other leafy greens.

Despite their name, the sloth’s hind legs have 3 toes, with their front legs having only 2 webbed toes.
