    Hoping someone can help me locate a sloth exhibit in the Southern Calif. region. I love these adorable creatures and use to visit them at the Santa Barbara Zoo. But last time I was there, the exhibit was gone. I live in Los Angeles and according to the L.A. Zoo website, they don't have any sloths. Haven't seen any at the San Diego Zoo either. Anyone know the next nearest zoo for sloths?? Please help, I need my sloth fix!!! :)

    Thank you!
