PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Roger Williams Park Zoo has officially announced the name of its newest resident — a baby two-toed sloth named Quint.
The zoo shared the exciting news on social media Wednesday, revealing that the tiny sloth’s name is a playful nod to the shark-hunting, Narragansett Beer drinking character from the classic 1972 film “Jaws.”
According to zoo staff, both Quint and his mother Fiona are healthy and thriving. In a recent health check, the little sloth weighed about 1.5 pounds, which they described as “about the weight of a loaf of bread”, and continues to grow each day.
