Sloth With A Sassy Side Comes To Decatur

A bundle of energy she is not, but the newest resident of Decatur's Scovill Zoo is pretty good at just hanging around.

Eden is the zoo's first sloth. She made the move from the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden this spring and has been on display since mid-June.

Eden is a Linnaeus's two-toed sloth. She sleeps more than 15 hours a day and spends virtually all of her time in the trees in her habitat.

But zoo keepers says Eden has a feisty side.

The sloth reportedly tried to bite a keeper in Cincinnati. But the Decatur staff says she hasn't tried anything like that since moving to Illinois.
