Sloth pup born at Dallas Zoo for the first time in 40+ years
Talkers: Chinese zoo denies its bear is a human
These are some of the stories we're talking about this morning. A Chinese zoo is getting support from other zoos as people on social media speculate that its bears are actually humans in costume. Plus, a popular rodeo goat that's been missing for weeks has been found and a 16-year-old high school student from Frisco is celebrating a milestone that took a lot of traveling to accomplish.
DALLAS - The Dallas Zoo is celebrating the arrival of a rare new addition.
A baby Linne's two-toed sloth was born at the zoo about three weeks ago to parents Tommi and Riley.

Zookeepers don't know the baby's gender yet, because they say it is still clinging tightly to mom.
The zoo did not release any news about the name of the animal, but the pup is strong, active and eating solid foods.
