Cheyenne Mountain Zoo welcomes new baby sloth

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is thrilled to announce the arrival of a New Year's baby: a Hoffmann's two-toed sloth. Some call sloth babies ‘pups,’ ‘infants,’ or even ‘slow-bies.’ Everyone can agree to call this wee one ‘adorable.’ With its dark brown eyes and a perfect pinkish-brown furless face, its cuteness is out of this world. The baby, born on Dec. 18, seems strong, and has been learning to traverse Mom’s tummy. While its mom, Aysan, hangs upside down, her baby sprawls right-side-up on her belly,

It's #NationalHippoDay and we know there's a TON to appreciate about this large-and-in-charge species, but we want to focus on one important thing: hippo ear wiggles. Did you know that hippo ears have a valve that closes when they go under water to prevent water from getting in? When they pop back up above water, they wiggle their ears to help open that valve which allows them to hear better. Ear wiggles are more than adorable. Some might say they're functional fashion.

Our hippos are busy preparing for their return home! Keepers at Dickerson Park Zoo are working on refreshing their crate training so they're ready for transport when the time comes (which will be soon!). We are excited for everyone to see the new Water's Edge: Africa exhibit. Though we don't have an exact opening date just yet, we're planning for it to be Fall 2019.

Zambezi's mini-me is learning how to hippo! At eight weeks old, the little calf is still nursing, but that doesn't stop him from attempting to eat hay, just like mom. The pair have been spending more time on land, both early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Hippo-ing is a lot of work when you're a little guy, so naps are required in between bouts of mimicking mom. We're loving his signature sleepy 'plop!' As a celebration of all the hard work and dedication our employees put in every da

Itty bitty little hippo is ready for a nap! After a long day of swimming with mom and exploring its brand-new world, our 2-and-a-half week old hippo looks ready for a nap as mom, Zambezi, eats her dinner. Although the baby is still only nursing, it seems to be learning lots from mom, including trying to eat hay! | Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

For the past seven months, Omo has plopped his way into our hearts with his rambunctious-baby-hippo energy spurts and frequent, spur-of-the-moment naps. While he doesn't fall asleep standing up quite as often as he did as a newborn, Omo's energy still seems to present itself in random fits and spurts! Here, he enters a new space in a run, throwing his head and open mouth around. Keepers say this is a behavior his dad, Biko, often exhibits when entering new spaces, as well. Then suddenly, Omo see

Join Water's Edge: Africa keeper, Grace, for an update on the Zoo’s two-month-old calf, and hear about how Omo's following in mom's footsteps literally and figuratively. Zambezi is a confident hippo, and her little boy is showing signs he'll be just the same! Ch

Napping can be tough when you have a newborn! Zambezi is clearly a great mom, always keeping a watchful eye on her little one in between quick winks. Her 3-and-a-half week old calf is great at power napping right alongside her, when not exploring his new, great big world. Once Zambezi decides that naptime is over, the pair enter the water and swim off to their preferred nursing spot. A mother's work is never done.
