Marilyn, part of a European breeding programme, holds on to three-month-old baby Nova.
Zookeepers have shared photographs of a two-toed sloth cradling her three-month-old baby.Since then the tiny sloth has developed well and has grown fast, keepers said.
Sloth-keeper Veronica Heldt said: "Like all new mums will attest to this Mother's Day, personal space does not exist with a newborn. Since Nova's birth, mum and baby have been inseparable." Ms Heldt said that baby sloths cling to their mother's stomach for a year until they are "strong enough to swing solo".
