We're so excited to share that our very own sloth bear, Jagger, has officially settled into her beary exciting new home at the Detroit Zoo! While we'll miss her playful spirit, be sure to check out Detroit Zoo to see all the Jagger updates and let’s send her some love in the comments below!

Here's what Detroit Zoo shared in welcoming Jagger to their zoo:

"Get ready to meet the sloth bear with the ultimate moves!

Starting today, Jagger is officially out on habitat and ready to show off her playful side! This 3-year-old sloth bear made her way from Idaho Falls Zoo to the Detroit Zoo, and she’s already settling in like a pro.

Native to the Indian subcontinent, sloth bears are natural foragers, feasting on termites and ants in the wild. Jagger’s all about exploring, playing, and having fun with everything around her. Her keepers say she’s a goofy girl who loves munching on special treats like peanut butter and jam (who can blame her?).

Fun fact: Sloth bears can grow up to 6 feet tall and have an impressive trick up their sleeve — they can fully close their nostrils to keep unwanted bugs out while they chow down on their favorite snacks!

Come see Jagger in her new bear den, right behind the grizzly bear habitat — she’s waiting to show you how she rolls!"
