With the main path snaking around it, this central feature will draw your eyes up to reaching branches and twisting vines as you walk 360 degrees around the exhibit-searching the treetops for mossy, slow-moving bundles of fur. With this in mind, our new sloth exhibit is designed to showcase this demurring species on their terms! Tropical Discovery’s high, skylit ceilings provide a bright, sunny backdrop for the soaring 22-foot sloth tree, with leafy branches bathed in natural light. Sloths may be slow, but their sweet nature and adorable appearance have been known to make people’s hearts beat a bit faster. You can continue to enjoy the magic of the rainforest, right here in Denver! Discover a balmy world of biodiversity, including a fascinating bat cave, a brilliant array of reef-dwelling fish, a host of slithery snakes, the tiniest tree frogs, large reptiles like Komodo dragons and Daphne the Siamese crocodile-at 60, Denver Zoo’s oldest family member. With nearly 300 species and nearly 1,800 individual animals, Tropical Discovery is truly a magical journey into the jungle.
