NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — A baby sloth born a couple of weeks ago at a Texas zoo needs a name.

"The birth was an unexpected surprise for animal care staff members," the zoo said in a release. "Due to the sedentary lifestyle of the sloth, along with their thick, wiry fur, it is exceedingly difficult to see outward signs of pregnancy."
