Two sloths living at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens have a new home with the opening of Sloth Crossing, the zoo's new habitat for Ruth, a 7-year-old female Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth, and Chata, a 29-year-old female Hoffman’s two-toed sloth.

The two slow-moving mammals joined the zoo last year.

The new sloth habitat comes as work continues on the zoo's $52 million Rezoovenation campaign to add a reimagined entrance , manatee exhibit and more to enhance animal welfare as well as the visitor experience at the Northside attraction.

Here’s what to know about Sloth Crossing.

Where is Sloth Crossing?

Sloth Crossing is in the zoo’s Play Park area.

Did Sloth Crossing replace another exhibit at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens?

Yes, it is in the Play Park spot where the squirrel monkeys were previously housed. The squirrel monkeys have been moved to a mixed-species habitat in Range of the Jaguar, where they live with the anteaters and howler monkeys.

Is there a separate fee to view Sloth Crossing?

What animals live in Sloth Crossing?

Chata is a 29-year-old Hoffman’s two-toed sloth with a passion for eating strawberries, blueberries and grapes. Baby Ruth is a six-year-old Linnaeus’ two-toed sloth that loves to sleep in the hammock and snack on sweet potatoes.

How long did it take to build the Sloth Crossing exhibit?

The new exhibit took about six months to build and cost around $300,000.

Can I get a behind-the-scenes look at the sloths?

Yes, the zoo offers Behind the Scenes Experiences , where you can watch an elephant or a black bear make a painting that you take home ($75), or go behind the scenes with a trainer to meet the zoo’s sloths, Megallanic penguins, greater flamingos or Visayan warty pigs ($55).

Is this project part of the new entryway and manatee exhibit that is coming to the zoo?

No, this is a separate project. The VyStar SkyScape gateway and J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Manatee River habitat are still in the construction phase and should be complete by the beginning of next year.
