One of the 12 remaining sloths from Sloth World Orlando – now being cared for and treated at the Central Florida Zoo – has become lethargic and is considered to be in critical condition, the zoo said

A rescued sloth’s death is prompting renewed scrutiny of an Orlando attraction, as a state lawmaker calls for a state and federal investigation into animal deaths, alleged mismanagement and potential legal violations.

A planned tourist attraction along International Drive has been shut down before ever opening its doors after state investigators say more than 30 sloths died while in the care of the business.

The animal was originally slated to be included in Sloth World, a planned International Drive attraction. It was one of 13 transferred from the planned Sloth World. to Central Florida Zoo.

No law required Sloth World operators to report animal deaths to the state, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Thirteen sloths in the custody of Sloth World have been transferred to a Florida zoo after the exhibition site closed following mistreatment allegations.

Many of the deaths were attributed to a lack of heat at an unauthorized warehouse that Sloth World was using, officials said.

Thirteen sloths moved from Sloth World to the Central Florida Zoo are recovering as officials investigate deaths blamed on cold exposure.
