Slo Mo!

This is one of my favorite animals to work with on show staff. She is a two toed sloth born at the Cleveland Zoo. They are generally found in South America and are herbivorous (vegetarian) and arboreal (tree dwelling). She is one of the stars of the Dr. Zoolittle show that I perform in. The audience learns things about her like she only goes to the bathroom about once every week.

In the wild when they go the bathroom is the only time they would climb down from the trees (though Slo Mo is getting more gutsy and exploring on the ground quite often). She looks like some sort of strange alien when she walks as you can see above.
I love my job!

He's so adorable. What's his favorite snack? Alex will want to know.

She loves everying plant!
Squash, carrot, yam, apple, pear, plum, lettuce, dandelion
We gave her coconut the other day and she went nuts licking it.
I think her favorite would have to be mulberry branched though, she'd follow them anywhere.
By the way, she the branches she is hanging onto? It is on a rolling cart so we can just roll her around between shows. I think she must be the most well traveled sloth in the world. =)
I have to ask....
I know everyone and their brother is probably asking for stuff from Africa, and I don't know if you can bring things back with you or not, but is there any way you could grab a rock for the kids? That way they could say "this rock is from Africa."
Just thinking, no is fine. :) You're going to have such a great time!
I'll work on it! I was actually planning on something like that but we'll see what I can get away with. =)
