Grover the Sloth
Our newest two-toed resident
Meet Grover
We are thrilled to introduce Grover, a Linnaeus's two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus) and the newest member of the Majestic Meadows family! Grover is a curious, gentle soul who is beginning to explore more and more of his surroundings each day.
We built Grover a brand-new tropical-themed habitat designed to mimic his natural rainforest environment, complete with climbing branches, cozy resting spots, and carefully controlled temperature and humidity to keep him comfortable year-round.
Grover is still adjusting to life at the farm and is not quite ready for guests just yet. But he's settling in beautifully, and we can't wait for you to meet him! Sign up below to be the first to know when Grover is ready for visitors.

Fun Sloth Facts
Upside-Down Living
Sloths eat, sleep, and even give birth while hanging upside down. Their internal organs are specially positioned to accommodate this lifestyle, and their fur grows from belly to back so rainwater runs right off.
A Living Ecosystem
Each strand of a sloth's fur has grooves where algae grows, giving them a greenish tint that serves as camouflage. Moths, beetles, and other tiny creatures also call their fur home.
Secret Swimmers
Despite being famously slow on land, sloths are surprisingly strong swimmers. They can drop from trees into water and swim across rivers using a breaststroke-like motion.
Super Slow Digestion
A single meal can take up to a month to fully digest. Sloths have a specialized four-chambered stomach filled with bacteria that slowly ferments tough leaves.
The Coolest Mammals
Two-toed sloths have the lowest body temperature of any mammal, ranging from 74 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit. They have so little muscle mass that they literally cannot shiver to warm up.
An Unbreakable Grip
A sloth's curved claws are so powerful that they can remain hanging from branches even after falling asleep. Sloths have been found still clinging to branches long after passing away.
Grover's Tropical Habitat
A Rainforest at the Farm
Grover's custom-built habitat is designed to replicate the warm, humid environment of the South American tropical rainforests where two-toed sloths are found in the wild. The space features a network of climbing branches at various heights, giving Grover plenty of room to explore, hang, and find his favorite sleeping spots up high.
Climate-Controlled Comfort
Temperature and humidity are carefully monitored around the clock. Two-toed sloths need tropical warmth because they cannot regulate their body temperature the way most mammals can. Grover's habitat stays between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity above 60%, ensuring his specialized gut bacteria stay healthy and active.
A Balanced Diet
In the wild, two-toed sloths feed on leaves, buds, fruits, and the occasional insect. At Majestic Meadows, Grover enjoys a carefully prepared diet of high-fiber leaf-eater biscuits, fresh leafy greens, sweet potatoes, and seasonal fruits to keep him healthy and happy.
