SLOTH HOUSE GRAND OPENING RESCHEDULED

The grand opening of the new Sloth House at the North Georgia Wildlife Park, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, August 1, is being rescheduled for next year. The exact date will be determined later. While the house is complete, and is already home to three delightful sloths, we have heard from several families that though they would like to attend, COVID-19 is making it difficult for them to travel. So, we have decided to hold the celebration when more people will be comfortable attending.

The good news is that NGWP will continue to provide small group interaction with sloths, and they can be viewed as a part of the park’s Wildlife Walk Experience. Visit our website,
www.ngwpark.com, to reserve a visit with our sloths. It is an experience you will never forget!

SLOTH HOUSE GRAND OPENING

Hope Bennett, co-owner/director of North Georgia Wildlife Park has long had a dream of opening a new Sloth House for the Park’s sloths, and now that dream has become a reality. Join us on August 1, 5:30pm – 6:30pm as we celebrate the grand opening of our new Sloth House.
Completing the sloth habitat was no easy task. Many friends became financial sponsors to help fund the project. The house had to meet specific guidelines to ensure the health and happiness of the new “homeowners”. It required extensive testing to make sure that our sloths will be healthy and happy in their new home.

The new sloth house is home to three sloths – Jolly, Jovial and Jubilee. All are two-toed sloths, native to the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America. Sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down from tree limbs. They are perhaps best known for how slowly they move, which is VERY slowly. They are fascinating animals that most people find enchanting.

Guests will have the opportunity to see the new habitat and its inhabitants, as well as meet some of the people who love and take care of them. There will be light refreshments served at the event as well.

As a special treat, guests will also get to meet and interact with Noelle, our youngest sloth. Noelle is only one and a half years old. She was acquired from another zoo, where she had  gotten off to a rough start because her mother had not produced enough milk for her. Fortunately, Hope Bennett, the co-owner/director of North Georgia Wildlife Park, has had years of experience with nursing baby animals to health. She teamed with the Windward Veterinary Hospital and together they were able to see Noelle not only survive but thrive. In fact, Noelle  may even be a little bit spoiled!
