Baby Sloth Hugging a Teddy Bear

Hello everyone!  I have some news you've probably heard from MPR or www.theworld.org!  Sjakie, a baby sloth from The Netherlands, was found dehydrated because his mother didn't have enough milk.  Wineke Schoo, a park ranger, helped Sjakie get his nutrients but he still needed his mothers comfort.  That is when a two-year-old girl stepped in and gave her teddy bear as a present.  Burgers Zoo had tried many other teddy bears, but none of those worked quite as well.
