Sally, a seven-year-old Linne’s Two-Toed sloth, is easing into her new home after a near 250-mile journey up the A1 from her old abode.

The animal arrived at Northumberland Zoo near Morpeth two weeks ago from Hamerton in Cambridgeshire.

She is the size of a small dog and is already proving to be popular with visitors and fans of the zoo online.

Zoo manager Maxine Bradley said: “We were blown away by how many people have actually watched our videos on social media.”
