A baby sloth has been born at a Florida zoo. The baby meets its father for the first time on a tree while being protected on its mother’s tummy.
The father slowly approaches his small and adorable child and gently kisses the tip of his nose. A world that resembles a fairy tale unfolds in reality.
in February this year at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoo in Florida, USA . A grizzly mother, a three- toed sloth , gave birth to a healthy baby
The grizzly bear slowly moves up the tree and approaches the father, Teddy, to show it his baby.
Teddy and the baby move their mouths closer together, smelling each other. It seems like their love has already blossomed from their first meeting.
The long-awaited gathering of the entire sloth family.
Like other mammals, male sloths usually do not care for their young. A mother sloth spends about six months carrying her young baby to her chest as she moves through the trees.
After that, the mother alone teaches the child how to cross trees, how to eat food, and how to defecate.
But unlike other sloth fathers, Teddy seems to want a family connection, zoo staff say.
Teddy knows when to give grizzly bears and their babies the space they “need,” and his approach to them is perfect.
