Sloths spend their lives in the tropical rain forests in Central and South America. They move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day, munching on leaves, twigs and buds. Sloths have an exceptionally low metabolic rate and spend 15 to 20 hours per day sleeping. And surprisingly enough, the long-armed animals are excellent swimmers. They occasionally drop from their treetop perches into water for a paddle.
There are two different types of sloths, two-toed and three-toed, and six species. Of those, the pygmy sloth is critically endangered and the maned sloth is vulnerable.

Each painting in this series was created on handmade recycled paper and is approximately 6x8.5 inches. The proceeds from this project have the potential to raise $10,000 for wildlife conservation, specifically helping Endangered to Critical Endangered species.
Thank you for your contributions -- there is so much to learn and do to protect the incredible wildlife we share this planet with.
