DENVER — A baby boy sloth at the Denver Zoo now has a name!
After four weeks of voting and more than 3,000 votes, he will officially be named "Wicket."
Back in February, a contest was held by the Denver Zoo to choose one out of the three names selected by his caretakers (Rain, Wicket, Cappuccino). People could vote for any of the names in exchange for a $5 donation.
The pup was born Jan. 26 and is the third pup born at Denver Zoo to parents Charlotte and Elliot. The first was born in February 2018, and the second in April 2019.
The sloths can be viewed in the Tropical Discovery exhibit.
Video of the new baby sloth also can be found on the Denver Zoo Facebook page.
