First-ever sloth born in Scotland

Scotland is famous for bagpipes, tartan, and now, a baby sloth.

The new baby called Atty is the first sloth to have ever been born in the country.

He arrived at the capital city's Edinburgh Zoo on Monday 11 May to parents Erica and Nico, who are both six years old.

Atty's been named after the broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, who turned 100 this month.

And it's a pretty apt nod to Sir David, who in 2017 told BBC News if he had to be an animal for a day, he would "undoubtedly be a sloth".

"You know, hanging about upside down, you've nothing to do, in fact sleeping most of the time," he said.

Atty is a Linne's two-toed sloth, which is mainly found in South America.

They're not endangered, which means there are still lots of them in the wild.

However, trees are being cut down in the forests where they live, so their numbers have been going down in recent years.

Atty will stay very close to mum Erica for the first six months of his life, clinging to her belly and getting carried around by her.

He'll also be fed food mouth-to-mouth, which will help him learn what's safe to eat when he eventually starts doing it on his own.

Head keeper Jess Brown said the birth of Atty was "groundbreaking, not just for Edinburgh Zoo, but for Scotland".

"Seeing a sloth baby clinging to mum for the very first time has been so special for the whole team and we can't wait for visitors to see little Atty," she said.

"He is already showing plenty of personality and visitors might spot a tiny face peeking out from mum's fur."
