This baby sloth at the Denver Zoo needs a name

The Denver Zoo wants your help to name its two-toed sloth pup.

Details: The zoo is giving people three naming options and asking for $5 donations for each vote. The options for the almost two-month-old sloth include:

  • Rain β€” inspired by the animal's natural habitat.
  • Wicket β€” after an Ewok from Star Wars.
  • Cappuccino β€” a nod to his coffee-colored coat.

πŸ’­ My thought bubble: I chose Cappuccino, because who doesn't love coffee?

What's next: The winning name will be revealed in late March.
