If your Christmas wish list included the words “baby sloth,” then the Denver Zoo has pulled off a Christmas miracle straight out of a Hallmark original movie.
The zoo announced that Charlotte, a 23-year-old Linne’s two-toed sloth who already gave birth in January, is expecting again.
The latest baby sloth will arrive in late February or early March 2019, according to a news release from the Denver Zoo. The as-of-yet named child will join father Elliot and big sister Baby Ruth, who was born in January 28.
The happy family will reside in Bird World, according to the zoo's pregnancy announcement.
The baby will measure around 10 inches long at birth and weigh 10 to 13 ounces. The beginning of the bundle of sloth-ly joy’s life will involving clinging to its mother’s fur during the first four to five weeks. The child will venture out on its own after nine months of quality time with its mother, the Denver Zoo said.
The zoo will send a formal birth announcement when applicable, as well as information about baby sloth visitation options.
