Another day, another adorable animal born at Zoo Miami.
- This week, the zoo announced the birth of two sloth bear cubs.
- The cubs, who were born in December but underwent their first neonatal exams this week, are the first born at Zoo Miami since 1998.
Fun fact: These shaggy bears primarily eat termites and ants, and they can completely shut their nostrils to keep bugs out during raids. They carry their young on their backs.
