Monday's birth of Atty made him Scotland's first sloth born in captivity, a male Linne's two-toed sloth at Edinburgh Zoo.
Feira and Nico, both 6 and first-time parents, are caring for the newborn as he spends his first six months clinging to his mother's stomach.
RZSS named the baby after Sir David Attenborough, who turned 100 at the weekend and once said he would choose to be a sloth for a day.
Visitors can enter the sloth house from 14:00 on Wednesday, though the zoo said opening hours may vary in the coming weeks while mother and baby rest.
