World Sloth Bear Day

Educational Science Zoo & Animals

What’s Happening?

Celebrate World Sloth Bear Day at the Little Rock Zoo!

Sloth bears are one of the most distinctive bear species in the world, known for their shaggy fur, long claws, and unique feeding habits. Native to the forests of the Indian subcontinent, sloth bears play an important role in their ecosystems by feeding on insects and fruits, helping to maintain plant and insect populations. However, they are facing threats from habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.

Join us on October 12th as we Celebrate World Sloth Bear Day and learn more about these fascinating creatures and the conservation efforts working to protect them.

Did you know that sloth bears have a specialized, long tongue that helps them reach deep into ant and termite mounds? Or that despite their name, sloth bears are not closely related to sloths, but are a unique species of bear? Come discover these incredible facts and more through special keeper talks, interactive activities, and the chance to see our sloth bears up close.

All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss this chance to celebrate these remarkable animals and learn how we can help protect them in the wild!
