Two pensioners join a brand new retirement home to live a lazy life.Having left prison, Tuppee, 26, and Lightcap, 36, moved into a new home built specifically for the older sloths in Folly Farm, Pembrokeshire.The attraction of visitors take in sloths, which are "retired" from other zoos, giving them a place to relax and unwind.Sloth keeper Becky Dyson says the lock is great for lazy animals.As the zoo closed during the closure, the farm keepers wanted to renovate the house.
So they built a slotxo new, larger, old-fashioned two-footed old man home in the Tropical Trails exhibit. Designed for highly experienced sloths, 'Sloth Forest' features a biomass heating system and a special place for snoozing.Becky said: “Like us, sloths are prone to aching muscles and creaking joints as we age. Our new retirement home offers a warm, comfortable place. To hug and have a lot of moisture. Some of the new features include a
softer ground made of cocoa fiber soil and closely aligned branches for easier climbing.We all know how important it is to keep exercising as we get older, and lazy people are no different. We've spaced things like feeding stations and sleeping boxes a little further apart in Sloth Forest to encourage them to walk around, ”Becky continues.But, as we all know, sloths are not famous for their movement, they spend most of their time in boxes.Light Cap is a lover, she's always curious and interested in what we're doing,
so we're pretty sure she'll love meeting visitors when the experience begins.Tuppi is an old grouse. But he has definitely gotten weak since Lightcap moved a few years ago, they enjoy each other's company and we always find them hugging. She added: "As you might expect, the Tuppee and Lightcap are not really affected by the blockade, the Sloths are not known to be pets, so the" stay home "command doesn't bother them at all. |
