    A baby sloth that was born on New Year's Day at the London Zoo was seen in footage released on Friday.

    The newborn has been named Nova, which means 'new' in Latin.

    Footage shows the baby two-toed sloth clinging to the mother sloth as they made their way around their enclosure.

    The zookeepers said that the baby sloth's sex will later be confirmed by vets.
