Salem the shrunken sloth makes a surprise appearance in the local zoo (PHOTO)
🐬 Chillaxin' in the Yekaterinburg Zoo! 🐬
The Sloth Situation is Lit:A new brood has swung into Yekaterinburg Zoo! Bo and Lala, our sloth parents, recently welcomed their eleventh child. The little tyke made its debut on May 13th, but the good news only just escaped. Guessing the gender of this furry bundle? We're all still in the dark.
While there's no confirmation yet on the age, weight, or personality traits of our latest addition, you bet this little fella is hooked on mom's milk and leaves. Yum-yum!
🌸 Lovey-Dovey Lala:While we wait on more updates, let's talk about mama Lala. This devoted momma has her hands (or… claws?) full, nurturing her little one, strolling with it, shielding it, and never letting it out of her sight. Papa Bo, on the other hand, gets some zzz's in his own den and keeps to his own time. Ain't love grand?
🎫 Stop by for a Visit!Looking to catch a glimpse of this slow-moving squad? Wander on over to the "Western" pavilion's summer enclosures, and you'll find them chillaxin', Yekaterinburg-style.

- "Perhaps with a change of scenery, this new lifestyle might suit Bo and Lala's eleventh sloth as it grows up; transitioning from home-and-garden of the sloth enclosure to the spacious home-and-garden of Yekaterinburg Zoo."
- "With the addition of the latest sloth member, the zoo becomes a more inviting home not only for the seasoned residents like Bo and Lala but also their pets, be it feathered, furry, or scaly."
