Classy baby sloth flies on a special jet, gets celebrity welcome
Sloths may have a reputation for being lazing, but at least this one travels in style.
A three-month-old Linnaeus sloth recently flew on a private jet from Florida to his new home at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The 10-inch tall sloth who weighs 2 pounds boarded the plane as a regular animal, but he exited a celebrity.

Aviary employees couldn't have been more excited to welcome him home.
Currently, the Aviary is home to fruit bats known as Malayan Flying Foxes, as well as an adult male sloth named Wookie.
"The National Aviary features birds from around the world but also other animals that share their ecosystems. Given their arboreal lifestyle, sloths are the perfect addition to our collection," the website reads.
After coming home, the sloth was treated to a prix-fixe meal of rice and sweet potatoes.
