I thought their sloth was a Linnaeus's Two-Toed Sloth (Choloepus didactyllus) not a Hoffmann's Two-Toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni). Is this just a mistake by you, or is it just that the zoo hasn't updated their website?

This looks like a Hoffmann's to me.

Do you have any proof to back this up. The zoo's website and the sign in the Rainforest Building says Linnaeus's. I would love if it was though since it would be a new species for me. Next time you visit the zoo, ask one of the keepers since you are much more likely to go before me.
