LONDON -- Meet Edward, London Zoo's newborn two-toed sloth. At just seven weeks old, Edward - named after Edward Scissorhands due to his super long claws - is being hand-reared by zookeeper Kelly Annkelleher.

ZSL (Zoological Society of London) keeper Kelly has been using her initiative to keep baby Edward developing normally whilst away from his mother, employing the help of a life-sized sloth plushie and goat's milk.

It's pretty obvious that Edward is by far the cutest thing you'll see today, maybe even this month, but if you don't believe us, here are 11 GIFs to prove it.

Hey guys, this is Edward and he's super cute.

It's totally fine, Edward keeps in shape by hanging around.
