FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Spring has sprung and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is excited its two newest additions to the park.
No, it's not a ride or show.
They are two baby sloths.
Born March 29th to mother, Grizzly, and father, Teddy, the four-week-old baby Hoffman's sloth weighed in at 6.6 ounces at birth. The park's animal care team is having to feed via syringe every two hours because it wasn't nursing regularly.
The baby is healthy and under a 24-hour watch.
A Linne's two-toed sloth was born on April 2nd to first-time mother, Daisy, and father, Mario. The baby, which weighed 19.4 ounces at birth, is healthy and being cared for by its mother.
Guests can see both baby sloths in the coming weeks in the park and at Jambo Junction, Busch Gardens' home to animal ambassadors who represent their counterparts in the wild.
