Sloth Bear Experience | Fridays at 2:30 PM

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look to learn more about the Sloth Bears at the Little Rock Zoo. Meet a sloth bear up close and learn how the animal care team supports their health and well-being every day. You will learn about sloth bears and their environment, what makes them unique, and how the Zoo works to support their conservation.
