Gordon and Amelia

💭 Imagine this... you're a zookeeper who's devoted your life to helping and caring for animals, but even after all your studies, there's one species that makes you nervous to be around: the sloth.
- And just your luck, you get assigned to work in the sloth enclosure at your zoo. *Gulp*
It's not just a nervous dream; this was the case for Amelia Jones, a zookeeper in Sussex, England.
- Initially very nervous around the sloths, Amelia was surprised when she seemed to hit it off with a male named Gordon.
- "Gordon took a very gentle approach with me," she shared. "Like he knew I was nervous, and would slowly come to where I was, peer at me sweetly, and patiently watch me work.”
🦥❤️ A happy ending... Over time, Gordon and Amelia developed a daily routine of morning cuddles and a stroll around the zoo. Now the two are inseparable – Gordon refuses to get out of bed each day until he's visited by his bestie.
