It is with heavy hearts that our team shares the passing of Mr. Ginger. 🦥
Mr. Ginger was the youngest sloth brought into our care, estimated to be only 4-6 months old. He arrived in an extremely fragile condition, and our veterinary team provided intensive care. He was hand-fed every few hours and spent much of his time in an incubator to help regulate his body temperature. He was a fighter, and he held on despite the odds. Though our staff made every effort to give him the best possible chance at survival, his condition did not improve, and our team made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize him.
We are deeply saddened by this loss. We know those who are following this story are too.
We remain committed to caring for the rest of the sloths and hope for brighter days ahead. 🤍
This weekend is blooming with fun! 🪴 Join us for our VERY FIRST plant sale, featuring amazing local vendors, unique finds, and more.
🌱 It's on from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday AND Sunday. Zoo admission is required.

The crested coua is actually a bird in the cuckoo family! These birds have a 'reversed' third toe that makes it easier to grasp onto branches and sticks when hopping around the treetops.

Sloth update 🦥
All of the sloths recently completed checkups. Exams included radiographs, fluids, blood draws, and detailed body condition evaluations to give a good baseline as they adjust. Our veterinary and animal care teams worked together to make the process as stress-free as possible, including continuing to offer breakfast if they wanted it.
Mr. Ginger remains in very critical condition, with the rest of the sloths still in intensive care but in more stable condition. We'll continue evaluating and adjusting care and treatment to give them the best chance of survival. We'll continue to provide updates as we have them. Thanks for following along. 💚
