Thirteen sloths in the custody of Sloth World have been transferred to a Florida zoo after the exhibition site closed following mistreatment allegations.
The exhibition site closed after those allegations became public. The closure led to the decision to relocate the animals.
The move removes Sloth World from its role as caretaker of the group. The Florida zoo now holds responsibility for their daily care and housing.
Staff and visitors will likely watch for updates on the animals’ condition and any follow-up actions related to the allegations. The transfer brings the sloths into a new, secured setting while more information comes to light.
