A second sloth transferred to a Central Florida zoo for rehabilitation has died, the Central Florida Zoo says. The animal was part of a group of sloths that were taken from “Sloth World,” a yet-to-open tourist attraction that has faced scrutiny after multiple sloths were reportedly imported and subsequently died. According to reports, Sloth World previously released a group of sloths for transfer, and the Central Florida Zoo began receiving them for care. The zoo states that the latest death occurred after the animal arrived for rehabilitation. One other sloth from the same transferred group had also died, making this the second confirmed death following the transfers. The scrutiny around Sloth World centers on the number of sloths reported to have died after being imported from Guyana and Peru, with some reporting placing the figure at more than 30. The zoo and related reporting frame the transfers as steps aimed at providing rehabilitation and care for the animals, while details about causes of death and the overall status of the remaining sloths are ongoing.
