Children under age 10 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Tickets can be purchased in the park on the day of your visit. You may also have an opportunity to feed a sloth! TicketsĪppropriate for all ages, each adventure ticket is $19.95 per person, plus a regular paid zoo admission. During this adventure, you will learn about tortoises, macaws, sloths, and the importance of tropical forests in our everyday lives. In our South American Adventure, you will walk along a boardwalk in the "jungle" to discover and meet a variety of animals from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Whether they’re just hanging out, taking a snooze, or moseying along to reach a tasty treat, our oddly adorable two-toed sloths are unforgettable.

By conserving energy, sloths have survived while other animals have gone extinct. Yet the deliberate movements of sloths are a beneficial adaptation, making them very successful animals in the rainforest environment. Because of their unhurried nature, sloths are often stereotyped as dull-witted, sluggish, and lazy the animal was named, in fact, after one of the seven deadly sins. Sloth takes its name from arboreal animals native to Central and South America known for their relatively slow, careful movements. All articles submitted to Sloth pass through a four-stage peer review and revision process: (1) the article is initially reviewed by either the humanities or social science editor of Sloth (2) if it is judged to be potentially publishable, then the article is sent to two reviewers (3) if the outside reviews are positive, the student author will be asked to revise the article for publication (4) the article will go through a final copy editing stage, if needed. Sloth is a refereed and selective journal. Sloth showcases the important and innovative contributions of undergraduates, giving those who are interested in human/non-human animal relationships a way to contribute to and engage with the field, as well as an opportunity to build their skills, knowledge, and resumes in anticipation of their graduate school careers. Sloth is an online bi-annual journal that publishes international, multi-disciplinary writing by undergraduate students and recent (within three years) graduates that deals with human/non-human animal relationships from the perspectives of the social sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences. NOTE: Sloth is under revision and will return in the near future.Īs part of our efforts to reach out to students with an interest in human-animal studies, ASI created a journal for undergraduate students to publish their papers, book and film reviews, and other academic and artistic work.
