Welcome two new baby sloths who are newly rescued and now in the care of our TSI staff:
Grogu – named after one of the most adorable characters in Disney+ history from The Mandalorian – is a three-fingered sloth that was rescued at only a couple days old (only 275g) from her mother’s dead body. Sadly, we don’t know what happened to mom but by the time Grogu was found she was covered in fly eggs and dehydrated. Thanks to our friends at Alturas wildlife center for letting us know about Grogu so that she could enter our release program and one day live her life back in the trees. Even as a tiny baby, Grogu’s training begins from day one: from being fed the exact leaves that she will find in the wild to practicing her climbing skills. Every day she is learning and growing and we are happy to report that she has already gained almost 100g in just a couple of weeks! We hope she continues to do well so be sure to follow along to see her progress as she goes through TSI’s sloth school!
John Lennon is a two-fingered sloth that was orphaned at around 3 months of age. He was found on the ground with no mom in sight…so we aren’t sure what happened to her. In the past few months at TSI he has grown quite large and is flying through the stages of our release program. He is best friends with Elton John – therefore we affectionately call this musical duo “The Johns”. Pretty soon he will be weaned and will be able to move to our outdoor enclosures where he will continue to practice being a wild sloth and learn more independence. All things needed to live a happy life in the wild!
