Sloth baby "Oskar" poses on the hand of its keeper at the zoo of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The 45-day-old baby's diet consists of a mash of vegetables mixed with fennel tea and bottle-feeding because its mother cannot deliver enough milk.

That sure is a cute baby sloth! We have just gotten a new one of our own at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Ken Howell, the curator of our Upland Tropical Rain Forest exhibit recently posted an article about her on our blog. You can read all about her here: http://nationalaquarium.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/from-the-curator-a-baby-in-the-rain-forest/

Let us know what you think!
