Sloth World to close after a number of sloth deaths - Catherine - 05-06-2026
Sloth World is a tourist attraction in Florida that was to display sloths. They imported a number of sloths. The animals arrived and were left all night in an unheated warehouse. It was still winter and many of the sloths died from the cold. The Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Garden has taken in the survivors.
They are getting the best of care, but sadly some of the sloths have still died.

This should not have happened. How did they get a permit to ship so many sloths. How were they able to bring in animals when their facility wasn't ready for them.
I hope there is a serious investigation. There should be some kind of charges against the owner for leaving the sloths in the cold over night. They couldn't possibly survive that.
