- Shocking discovery in Florida warehouse leaves officials searching for what went wrong
At least 31 sloths died under the care of Sloth World Orlando, with 21 perishing in December 2024 due to suspected 'cold stun' from a lack of heat in their warehouse. An additional 10 sloths died in February 2025, with the current owner denying allegations and blaming a foreign virus, while the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission issued a verbal warning but no formal violations.
