The Maritime Aquarium welcomes its first sloth

The Maritime Aquarium (10 N Water St, Norwalk, CT 06854) is thrilled to welcome Jeffrey, a Linné’s two-toed sloth.  

“Jeffrey is the first sloth to ever live at the Aquarium. He has spent the past few weeks working with the team and exploring his new surroundings to prepare him to meet our guests,” said Director of Animal Husbandry Rachel Stein“We hope you’ll stop by soon to say hello!”  

Jeffrey can be found on the second floor in “Just Add Water,” an exhibit that explores the impact of water on climate and how animals have adapted to unique environments.  

Linné’s two-toed sloths are native to the forests of Central and South America, spending most of their time up in the trees with their long-curved claws helping them to grip branches. They have extremely slow metabolisms and can sleep for up to 18 hours a day.  

Jeffrey came to the Aquarium from Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island. He may not be visible at all times as he continues to adjust to his new home.
