Auf der Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire, Südwales, hat man sich entscheiden, gealterten Faultieren ein Heim zu geben, in dem sie ganz entspannt ihren Lebensabend verbringen können. Auch ein Grund, mal nach Wales zu fahren.
Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, has decided to start homing older two-toed sloths which have retired from other zoos.
Instead of taking on young breeding pairs, the special facility aims to give ‘silver sloths’ a place to relax – and help conservation efforts by freeing up zoo enclosures for younger breeding pairs.
And the farm already has two elderly residents – an adorable male and female pair called Tupee, 24, and Lightcap, 34, who is currently the fifth oldest sloth in any European zoo.
