Sloths

[PAT]

i thought sloths went to the floor to defacate any way?

And roll in it to feed the moss and algae in their fur.

I've seen them outside quite often there ....... have just uploaded some pictures into the Colchester Zoo gallery.

Going off-topic a bit, I was told last year you acquired Paca, is that true and could you get some photos?
