Sloths in the Singapore Zoo
Comic Panel 2
There are currently two-toed sloths at the Singapore Zoo. The Singapore Zoo is protecting these sloths by keeping them from the Amazon Rainforest that is being destroyed. They are now living in a protected area in the zoo for you to see! One of the sloths that lives there is named Linné!
Hi friends, I am Lottie a very sleepy sloth!

I’m from Central America and part of my family also lives nearby in South America. Back home, I lived high in the trees and the branches of the rainforest. Now, I'm living in the Singapore Zoo with my mom, Martha, and my dad, Bert.

If you ever go to the Singapore Zoo be sure to visit me! 
On to the story before I fall asleep...

Let me show you where I live!

The night is dark and humid and my home range goes to a maximum of 16 acres. An acre is a unit used to measure land. One tree is home to several of us sloths and of course, our feared predators.

Can you guess what type of mean creatures would try and eat me?
Well done!! Yes, some of the predators that hunt us are jaguars, harpy eagles, and anacondas. Brr… you guys are giving me nightmares!

Oh, there’s Lindy, my mom’s friend with her baby girl, Lucinda clinging to her tightly. Lucinda will probably stop clinging onto her soon or in about 3 months since sloth babies cling to their moms for the first 6-9 months after their birth. I sloooooowly wave to Lindy and she smiles and waves back.

Hmmm, this is delicious... I’m feeding on the leaves from a cecropia tree which helps make my tummy feel better. I'm trying not to move that much while eating since I have very low stamina. Stamina is the ability to do something for a long time.
