Hope, a two-month-old baby sloth, is the newest addition to the charming Linne’s two-toed sloth family in Singapore Zoo.

The family currently resides in the park’s Fragile Forest, a tropical rainforest habitat sponsored by Hong Leong Foundation. It was born to Indigo, an adult female and Bunny, the wildlife park’s resident male sloth.

The adorable mini sloth is often spotted clinging comfortably on mom, Indigo, an endearing sight of the close bond shared between mother and baby.

Baby sloths cling to their mother’s chest for approximately six months. During this period, they rely solely on their mothers for nourishment while gradually developing essential skills like climbing and learning to feed on leaves.

Hope is the second Linne’s Two-toed Sloth born to Indigo, following its older sibling Luca, who is now one and a half years old.
