One year since the best experience of my life

I can’t believe today is one entire year since the best experience of my life to date: meeting, petting and feeding the only sloths in Australia, at Adelaide Zoo. I got to interact with Al G (top), and Miss C (bottom), the oldest sloth in the world. Sadly, Al G passed away earlier this year after contracting an infection, and as such, personal visits like this are no longer allowed at the Zoo. So I was particularly fortunate to be able to have this experience when I did.

Ironically, I was looking after my little cousins this morning, and had to drop them off at the zoo at 11am for a visit with friends. Ahh memories. One day I may get to experience the joy again of being able to interact with these amazing creatures. alg missc

Rest in Peace Al G

I got some sad news yesterday. One of the sloths that I met back in July last year, Al G, passed away after he couldn’t recover from a gastro infection. Now poor Miss C will be all alone. The zookeeper told me when I met them that no more sloths would come into the zoo after these two were gone, so now only the one will be present at Adelaide Zoo.

I was quite upset to hear of this, and only wish him rest in peace. Al GSandAlgae
