ROYAL OAK, Mich. – The Detroit Zoo has officially introduced Jagger, a 3-year-old sloth bear, to the public.

Jagger is the first of her kind at the Detroit Zoo in decades. Jagger is still living behind the scenes, but she’ll be venturing outdoors in the next week, according to the zoo.

This year, a Giving Zoo Day gift will go toward purchasing enrichment items for Jagger. The zoo is planning on buying her a wobble chair, a food ball, and more to enhance her new habitat.

“Here’s the cherry on top -- thanks to the generous Jeffrey Farber Family Foundation, your kindness will have double the impact! Every donation up to $5,000 will be matched dollar for dollar. That means your generosity goes twice as far to enrich Jagger’s new home -- along with all the animals who call the Zoo home,” the Detroit Zoo shared on Facebook.
