Sloth World promised a peaceful rainforest escape in the heart of Orlando. What investigators found instead was a warehouse with no heat, no water, no electricity — and dozens of dead sloths.

In this episode, we break down the full investigative timeline: the 2024 cold‑snap deaths, the improper feeding, the missing animals, the failed inspections, and the 200‑page necropsy file that confirmed 52 sloths dead and 24 unaccounted for. We walk through the state’s findings, the zoo rescues, the long‑term injuries, and the criminal investigation now underway.

This wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t a misunderstanding. It was one of the worst exotic‑animal welfare failures in Florida history — hidden behind a tourist corridor and marketed as a family attraction.

If more information comes out, we’ll bring you a part two. Until then, thank you ...
