Nikolia the Sloth Fairy coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

The new drawing today is of a Sloth Fairy

 from Costa Rica, 

Nikolia the Sloth Fairy

Nikolia is a beautiful and kind Sloth Fairy.  She cares for sloths, especially baby sloths who have been orphaned.  Here Nikolia is seen with a baby sloth she is caring for.  The baby's mother was taken by a predator.  So Nikolia is filling in as a surrogate sloth mother. 

Like all Fairies, Nikolia can change to various sizes.  Here she is about 1 foot t or 0.30 meters tall.  This size is good for being relatable to the juvenile sloth. Baby sloths mass at only 300-500 grams at birth.  That works out to around 10-17  ounces.  They can hold onto their mother and climb immediately.  This particular baby sloth is not a newborn.  It is about 7 months old. 

Note:  This drawing has now been scanned and posted now that we have got home from Costa Rica.  The drawing is on the “Fantasy, Myths, and Circus” page.  It is also on the "Animals" page.  Click on the correct button and then scroll down to the bottom of the list of printable drawings.
