A zoo in Florida has announced the birth of their first sloth, but the cutie is so shy it doesn't want to leave its 'snuggly blankie.' <br /><br />Footage captured yesterday (November 20) shows the tiny sloth, which has not yet been named, was abandoned by its mother, so staff at Brevard Zoo have been hand-rearing it. <br /><br />But the baby is still so shy it refuses to let go of its comfort blanket, which acts as a surrogate mother. Sloths are notoriously difficult to distinguish between sexes, so staff do not yet know the gender of their newest arrival. <br /><br />Staff at the zoo, in Florida, USA, wrapped the 11-ounce baby in a gift shop blanket and started feeding it goat's milk every two-and-a-half hours.
