Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomed the addition of two adorable sloths this spring.

One baby is a Hoffman's two-toed sloth that was born on March 24 to mother, Grizzly, and father, Teddy. Busch Gardens' animal care team decided to hand-nurse the baby sloth after noticing it was not nursing regularly. The sloth is healthy and under 24-hour watch.

The second sloth is a Linne's two-toed sloth that was born on April 2 to first-time mother, Daisy, and father, Mario. The baby sloth is being cared for by its mother.

The sloths will soon be available to view at Jambo Junction at the Florida theme park.
