Denver Zoo Baby Sloth Caught Red-Handed Stealing Corn from Mama Charlotte
Keeper Daria G. thought she would capture a cute video of the little sloth pup munching on its food. But, things did not go as planned, and Daria ended up filming a hilarious clip of the young sloth trying to snatch corn from his mama! Let’s take a closer look at what happened.
The Sneaky Little Sloth
As we can see in the video, the sloth pup is trying to steal some corn that mama Charlotte is holding firmly in her hands. The sloth is taking small and calculated steps towards her, hoping to make the right move at the right moment.
Unfortunately for the little thief, Charlotte is not in a sharing mood and won’t let the little one eat her corn.
The Great Mama
Despite the sloth’s attempts, Charlotte works hard to keep her baby in line. Charlotte is a great mother who loves her little one very much, and she usually shares her food with him. But, in this instance, she has made it pretty clear that she wants to eat her corn alone.
Growing Bigger by the Day
The Denver Zoo team is happy to report that the sloth pup is healthy, thriving, and growing bigger by the day. With the expert care of the zookeepers and a loving mother, the sloth enhances in health and grows steadily.
