Meet Jay! Zoo Boise's newest resident is a six-year-old male Linné’s two-toed sloth. He now lives in the Small Animal Kingdom rainforest with porcupine Ozzy.

He’s still settling into his new home and chooses where and how he wants to spend time. But hint, look up to find Jay!

The results are in: Meet Opal and Onyx! You officially named our African Cape porcupine sisters.

Inspired by the Gem State of Idaho (and a Taylor Swift song?), Opal and Onyx earned an impressive 51% of votes.

As nocturnal mammals, they're currently adjusting to their new home.

Cape porcupine naming vote ends at midnight. Can anyone catch Opal & Onyx as top choice? This pair of names is starting to run away with the poll while Zuri & Zola try to close the gap.

If you want to tip this election, there's time to vote for your fav: https://t.co/JBxjhtyyj6

Heavy is the crown? 👑 The namesake "crown" of the grey crowned crane is actually a halo of stiff golden feathers that help these tall [and regal!] birds blend into tall grasses.
