Do you remember the adorable Merlin? He was initially a wild sloth that the Sloth Institute was tracking when we realized he had acquired a serious fungal infection. Our team has been actively giving him special baths to help along his treatment and he has recovered beautifully!
(You can catch him sunbathing after one of his baths here!)
Merlin has enjoyed his time at TSI over the last year or so and we are happy to announce that he has been released back into the wild! He is probably the oldest sloth we’ve ever known – Merlin is possibly over 20 years old!
You can watch his release in the video below. Help us show Merlin some love and wish him a happy farewell in the comments below!
