Fort Worth, meet Olive the sloth. | Photo courtesy Fort Worth Zoo
I’m obsessed with this photo of the zoo’s newest resident, a two-toed sloth named Olive. She joins the zoo’s World of Primates complex, which recently reopened with updates such as boardwalk access and Olive’s new habitat.
Later this year, the zoo will begin construction on Phase Two of the World of Primates renovation. Stay tuned for a larger gorilla habitat and new shade structures, among other improvements.
