At the age of 54, the world’s oldest sloth has fallen asleep.
The two-toed sloth, who went by the name Jan, was born in the wild and then spent 38 years of his life at the Krefeld zoo near Düsseldorf in Germany.

The mining company Viscaria and the Sami village of Laeva have entered into a cooperation agreement regarding the Viscaria mine in Kiruna.
The agreement means that Laevas must be compensated for the impact of the mining operations on reindeer herding in the Viscaria area. In addition, Laevas must withdraw its appeal against Viscaria’s environmental permit issued by the Land and Environment Court.
“I am very happy that we have reached an agreement and we look forward to working together with Laeva’s Sami village to create good conditions for both mining operations and reindeer herding. We are continuing our work to be able to reopen the mine in 2026,” says Jörgen Olsson, CEO of Viscaria in a press release.
The agreement is valid for 15 years and can then be extended by the parties, but Laevas has the right to terminate the agreement early.
“Laeva’s Sami village has made a big and difficult decision today and has chosen to enter into a cooperation agreement with Viscaria. We look forward to a good dialogue with the company going forward”, says Niila Inga, chairman of Laeva’s Sami village in the press release.
