#baby sloth
Monday feels: Mary Jane the baby sloth, born at our National Zoo in 1964.
Zoo staff, who hand-reared Mary Jane, named the two-toed sloth long before it was determined that the baby was a male. He’s seen snuggling at 9 months old in this Smithsonian Institution Archives photo.
More about Mary Jane and the work of our staff in raising young animals.

These arboreal mammals are native to Costa Rica. According to the photographer, this little guy is under the care of the Jaguar Rescue Center in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.
