Nutella, a Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth, gave birth to the infant on Oct. 30, the zoo announced Thursday . The baby, which hasn’t been named yet, is the third offspring of Nutella and her mate Cocoa. While the species is not currently considered endangered, Hoffmann’s two-toed sloths face growing threats in the wild. Right now, the sloths are inside since they don’t handle cooler temperatures well, but the family is expected to be on display when they come back outside in the spring, zoo officials said.
