Denver Zoo Opens New Sloth Habitat
A sloth family at Denver Zoo is being reunited in a new habitat.

I'm a Patch editor covering news in Denver's metro area and Boulder. I've spent the past seven years working for various news outlets across North America, including Chicago Patch, Global News and WBEZ. As a Global TV reporter, I covered everything from tornadoes and wildfires to high-profile court cases and civil rights abuses. Born and raised in Canada, I have a B.A. in political science from The University of British Columbia, and a diploma in Broadcast and Online Journalism from the B.C. Institute of Technology.
When I'm not writing articles, I can be found hiking, snowboarding, debating politics with my husband and attempting to be a sci-fi and astronomy geek. Email: amber.fisher@patch.com Twitter: @Amber_L_Fisher
