Here's one (1) nice thing for your mid-week slump: The National Aviary in Pittsburgh debuted on Tuesday a 5-month-old baby sloth. Her name is Vivien, and she is perfect.
Per a release from the zoo, Vivien is a Linnaeus's two-toed sloth born August 21, and she is the third sloth to reside at the National Aviary.

To mark Vivien's debut, the National Aviary published a sweet introductory video in which a young sloth enthusiast meets the zoo's newest addition.

The question remains: Can Vivien compete with household names like Fiona the Hippo? Our hope is yes, provided she works on her personal branding.
