Roger Williams Park Zoo has revealed the name of the baby two-toed sloth born earlier this month.

"Say hello to Quint! This little one is named after captain Quint from the movie Jaws!" they wrote in a Facebook post.

On Oct. 11, the new sloth was born at the zoo to mother, Fiona and dad, Riley.

"Quint and mom Fiona are both doing well! During the most recent check-up, Quint is weighing in at about 1.5 pounds (about the weight of a loaf of bread) and is growing beautifully by the day!" the post said.

Does the new sloth have any brothers and sisters?

The Zoo is part of the Linne’s Two-Toed Sloth Species Survival Plan, which are losing habitat to deforestation. The species is not considered endangered, though the Smithsonian does say there are efforts to protect where the sloths live.
