Willow's Passing and the Sloth World Crisis

Willow, a beloved sloth at the Central Florida Zoo, passed away after a prolonged decline in health, prompting a heartbreaking but necessary euthanasia decision. Her case is part of a larger, tragic story tied to the shuttered “Sloth World” attraction in Orlando — where dozens of sloths arrived malnourished and sick, including four others who died before Willow, including a baby named Mr. Ginger. Investigations reveal horrific conditions at Sloth World, with necropsies showing infections and immune suppression. The attraction has since filed for bankruptcy, and criminal probes continue. Florida has temporarily halted sloth imports while reviewing wildlife laws, and the zoo now focuses on rehabilitating the remaining rescued sloths.
