Jersey Zoo's baby sloth prompts 'go slow' advice

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust said the sloth house has reopened at Jersey Zoo

The sloth house at Jersey Zoo has reopened following the birth of a two-toed sloth on 15 January.

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, which runs Jersey Zoo, said the enclosure would be open from 14:00 to 16:00 GMT to allow mum Terry and her baby get "used to visitors".

It said only 12 people could visit the sloth house at a time.

The zoo said on social media: "When you visit, please act like a sloth: slow and quiet!"

Durrell said the birth was an important milestone for the zoo

Durrell said the birth was "an important milestone" for the zoo and its pan- European breeding programme, which paired Terry and Rio, the father, which died nine days later.
