The Zoo welcomed the birth of a sloth pup in early February, making it the first of its species to be born there since 2022.

Gaylene Thomas, a wildlife care manager at the San Diego Zoo, oversees two teams that care for a variety of species, including leopards, tigers, hippos, giraffes, deer, the giant pandas and red pandas. Among those animals are also some of the zoo’s newest babies: twin sloth bear cubs and two koala joeys.
