DON’T MISS OUR SLOTH TREE!
Sloths may be slow, but their sweet nature and adorable appearance have been known to make people’s hearts beat a bit faster. With this in mind, our new sloth habitat is designed to showcase this demurring species on their terms! Tropical Discovery’s high, skylit ceilings provide a bright, sunny backdrop for the soaring 22-foot sloth tree, with leafy branches bathed in natural light. With the main path snaking around it, this central feature will draw your eyes up to reaching branches and twisting vines as you walk 360 degrees around the habitat—searching the treetops for mossy, slow-moving bundles of fur. Swing on by during your next visit!
