The Chattanooga Zoo is kicking off 2025 with the addition of a two-toed sloth. Boysenberry is 7 years old, weighs 19 pounds and comes to Chattanooga from the Oregon Zoo in Portland. Her species is found throughout Central America and the northern parts of South America and live around 16 years in human care. Sloths are arboreal mammals, meaning they live in treetops and spend most of their time clinging to limbs in forest canopies. They are known to move very slowly and to spend around 15 hours a day sleeping due to their leafy low-calorie diet and their slow metabolic rate. Boysenberry is on exhibit in the center of the zoo’s Forests of the World building. She can also be seen via livestream at chattzoo.org/explore/video-stream.
