Thank you both, I think I walked past where they were building the enclosure last time I was there

Sadly the last two days, Tamanduas been asleep in their indoor box all day! Not been able to get a photo of anything more than a bum in a box, so no photos to upload 
Plus side, there is a very sweet baby Babirusa (about 10 weeks old). Warthogs are also now completely offshow.

They are beautiful
A view of the almost completed Tamandua House is here Tamandua House 4th December 2022 - ZooChat
Wow what a cutie. I have to look out for him on my next visit
Sloths are already there I'd say - massively popular animal these days. Not sure I can see Tamanduas becoming that ubiquitous, but you never know!
There’s only 20 or so collections holding sloths - popular but hardly meerkat levels.
Really? Wow, that does surprise me, they seemed to me to be popping up all over the place, with a few smaller collections now having them! I do think they're on the way though, as the level of interest in them is FAR greater than it used to be...
ZTL lists 4 collections with Hoffmann's sloths and 136 with Linne's two-toed sloths.
Yes - I’m referring solely to the UK. 22 with Linne’s and just Newquay with Hoffman’s.
There appears to be a picture on Facebook of a baby Tree Kangaroo at Chester. 
What is in the water at the place? Even by Chester standards recent breeding success is incredible!!
By the way, does anyone know what the current situation is with the Tree Kangaroos? I wasn't even sure they had a female there anymore!
