VANCOUVER — Hurricane, the sloth that has been hanging out at the Vancouver Aquarium for years, has died at the age of 29.
The aquarium says she was one of their “most beloved” residents.
A statement posted on the aquarium’s social media account says the two-toed sloth has been receiving “specialized geriatric care” and was being closely monitored by their veterinary team.
It says her curious nature and daily interactions with people created many “meaningful moments” for staff and visitors who had the opportunity to meet her.
