Sloth World, Animal Attraction
Digest more
A planned Orlando attraction called Sloth World will not open following dozens of animal deaths, conservation groups said, as its 13 remaining sloths were placed in the care of animal experts at Central Florida Zoo & Biological Gardens.
Sloth World, a new attraction on Orlando’s I-Drive that was announced last year, imported dozens of the South American mammals, several of which are now dead.
Disease and cold temperatures killed nearly 30 sloths at a Florida animal import warehouse in 2024 and 2025, according to a report from state wildlife authorities.
