Baby Sloth Eating Breakfast At Minnesota Zoo Will Make Your Day (VIDEO)

WATCH: Baby Sloth Eating Breakfast
|

There really isn't anything better for your morning than a baby sloth.

In this adorable video, a mom and her newborn are eating what looks to be a pretty great breakfast full of carrots, squash and lettuce. The clip was uploaded by the Minnesota Zoo back in March, where the little fella was born on February 3, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Unfortunately, sloths often find themselves embroiled in the illegal pet trade and were ranked number one on the list of illegally traded animals from Colombia last year, according to a Nightline report. Environmentalists say the animals suffer from the "curse" of being cute.
