$1 = 1 Vote. Click the link below of name choice to vote.

The top five names were narrowed down from those submitted by you and our animal care teams and here they are: Chewie, Eco, Flash, Gus, or Shaka.
 

Vote Chewie  
Why? Our baby resembles a certain Wookiee many fans have a fondness for.


Vote Eco

Why? Eco represents the ecosystem that sloths have living in their fur! Our animal care team chose this name because our baby will be an animal ambassador and will help educate our community about sloths in the wild.

Vote Flash

Why? It's a great pun for our slow-moving baby! 

Vote Gus

Why? Gus represents the special fungi that sloths have living in their fur that can actually resist certain parasites, which is very important in their native habitat! Our animal care team chose this name because our baby will be an animal ambassador and will help educate our community about sloths in the wild.  
 

Vote Shaka
Why? Shaka is the Hawaiin gesture meaning "Hang Loose" and "Take it Easy", which is a perfect description of our laid-back sloth.
