London Zoo welcome new baby sloth Elio

A new baby two-toed sloth has been born at ZSL London Zoo.

After almost a year-long pregnancy, zookeepers witnessed the unique moment mother Marilyn welcomed the newest arrival to the zoo.

Keepers are keeping a close eye on both Marilyn and her 10-day-old baby, who they've named Elio.

The youngster was born with two-toed claws, which will grow up to four inches in length and will help it move from tree to tree on its own.
