I LOVE Sloths! For over 30 years I have traveled to Costa Rica. I always see sloths in the wild. This particular sloth is "Millie" the 2 fingered sloth. A park ranger rescued her when she was only a few weeks old. A huge mudslide toppled her and her mom from the trees. Unfortunately, Millie's mom perished in the storm. Luckily, this tiny baby sloth was taken to the Toucan Rescue Ranch. Millie was the first sloth to arrive at this all bird rehab center. Here she thrived, paving the way for more injured, orphaned and abandoned sloths to get the care they needed. Millie is now an Ambassador at Toucan Rescue Ranch. Everyone loves her! Working with the folks at Toucan Rescue Ranch is a privledge. I love helping them.
This original is a combination of colored pencil and PanPastels on Stonehenge Kraft paper. The art is unframed and includes free shipping within the continental USA). 25% of the sale of this painting goes directly to the Toucan Rescue Ranch. 300 animals are in much need of funding for medical expenses, food and rehab.

This Comet Moth is a male. How do I know this???? The tails are unusually long. The female has a much shorter tail and a heavier, fuller body. Also the antenna on the males are feathery. This is so they can pick up pheromones released by the females. This is a spectacular moth and is enormous as well as colorful.
