Sadly, Bob, the sloth at the Toronto Zoo has had to be euthanized because of serious health issues. Bob was always a very fine animal and I shall miss seeing him.

I am not sure what a sloth life span is, but Bob did have 7 good years. I understand that his health issues were very serious and he wouldn't have recovered. He will be missed, but I am glad he had a peaceful end.
Bob was housed with the Marmosets and in the winter he let them climb in his box and snuggle up to him. He was like a fuzzy electric blanket for them. I am sure they will miss Bob.
