The 13 surviving sloths from Sloth World continue to recover at the Central Florida Zoo in Sanford.
The zoo shared on social media that the sloths made it through their second night.
The surviving sloths were transported from a nearby warehouse, where 31 sloths intended for Sloth World were found dead.
In the latest update, the zoo said the animals are “receiving dedicated care from our animal and veterinary teams, with regular monitoring and treatment.”
The sloths, imported from Guyana and Peru, will remain in quarantine for 30 days to assess their medical conditions.
Although zoo officials are “feeling cautiously optimistic” about the animals’ progress, they said one sloth remains in guarded condition.
“There’s still a long road ahead, and we’re taking it one step at a time,” Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens said in a Facebook post.
