Coloring ideas for Sloth

Sloths usually have brown or grey fur, often with a greenish tint from algae that grows on them in the wild. Try soft browns, warm greys, or even olive green for a fun touch. Their eyes can be dark brown or black, and their claws are perfect for coloring with cream, beige, or even silver. The forest background is a great chance to explore leafy greens, bark browns, and maybe even a bright blue sky or sunset peeking through the trees.

What is a Sloth?

Sloths are slow-moving mammals that live high up in the trees of Central and South American rainforests. They spend most of their time hanging upside down from branches and are known for moving at a very relaxed pace. Sloths can live for up to 20 years in the wild and weigh between 3.5 and 6 kilograms. Their long claws help them grip branches tightly, and their thick fur provides protection from rain and insects. Sloths eat mostly leaves and fruit and have a very slow digestion to match their lifestyle. While they don’t make much noise, they sometimes let out soft hisses or squeaks, especially when they’re surprised or curious.
