Hey friend! My name is Guy, and I’m one of the two-toed sloths that lives at Wild Florida Adventure Park! I have been at Wild Florida for 12 years. While I don’t mind chilling solo, you can often find me hanging (sometimes literally!) with my good buddy Chloe!
I’d love for you to stop by and visit some day soon! Fair warning: I may be busy with a Very Important Nap. (But you can still come hang out!)

Corn on the cob
You can usually find Guy taking a nice nap, either hanging in a high spot in his enclosure or in his favorite clay pot. This is pretty typical two-toed sloth behavior as they’re nocturnal animals who prefer to sleep during the day and snack all night. As the star of our two Sloth Encounters, Guy makes a great animal ambassador, teaching guests about sloths’ gentle natures and veggie-filled feeding habits. (He particularly loves a nice ear of corn to munch on!)
Though most sloths prefer to spend their time high up in the tree tops, Guy has a surprising habit of hanging out on the ground in his favorite clay pot, where he can snuggle up into a comfy ball of fur! This silly trait, alongside his curious disposition, make him a favorite amongst guests and our animal care team alike.
Frequently Asked Questions about guy
Sloths tend to be pretty solitary creatures, often called “natural introverts,” preferring to move at their own (super slow!) pace rather than with a group. Guy, though, is pretty laid-back about company. He’s often spotted hanging with his sloth buddy Chloe, and he doesn’t mind meeting new friends either, especially if they bring along a tasty ear of corn.
If you’ve ever visited Guy, there’s a good chance you caught him enjoying some ZzZ’s. Like most sloths, he can sleep up to 15–20 hours a day. Their slow metabolism and digestion mean they don’t have tons of energy to spare. Moving slowly also helps them stay hidden from predators in the wild. Here at Wild Florida, though, Guy naps simply because he can.
Guy’s favorite activity? A good daytime nap, of course! Like most sloths, he loves a good snooze sesh. When he’s awake, you might spot him climbing around his habitat, enjoying a tasty ear of corn, or slowly checking out the guests who stop by to see him
You can! Make your visit with Guy even more memorable by booking one of our Sloth Encounters. During the standard Sloth Encounter, you’ll have the chance to gently pet a sloth while our animal care team hand-feeds Guy some of his favorite snacks. Want the ultimate sloth moment? The VIP Sloth Experience even gives you the chance to hold one!
When guests stop by to see Guy, they learn that sloths are much more than expert nappers. Our animal care team shares fun facts about two-toed sloths, from why they move so slowly to where they live in the wild. Seeing Guy up close helps guests connect with these amazing animals and better understand why protecting wildlife matters.
You can support Guy by symbolically adopting a two-toed. Adoption packages help provide daily care, enrichment, and education for animals at Wild Florida.
You can also book VIP Sloth Experience; not only does this encounter make your sloth-holding dreams come true, a portion of the funds will be donated to the APC Panama to help their efforts in the preservation and conservation.
