ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - No need to rush, just take things slow this morning and enjoy a virtual breakfast with the St. Louis Aquarium's new baby slot, Coconut

She'll be live at 9:45 a.m. eating her morning meal and you can join her via a live video feed. Just click here to head to the Aquarium's Facebook page. 

Coconut the Linnaeus’ two-toed sloth is one of the newest residents at the St. Louis Aquarium.

She was unveiled just before her first birthday on Feb. 20. The Aquarium says she will be an animal ambassador at the St. Louis Aquarium.

She came to the Aquarium from another zoological facility and was born in human care. Coconut currently weighs a little over 2.5 pounds. She sleeps about 20 hours a day, which is normal for a young sloth. (Adult sloths sleep about 15-20 hours a day.) Coconut's animal care managers say she is calm by nature but gets active and impatient when she knows it’s time to eat.
