Kinkajou Reaching for a Bud on a Curved Branch

A furry kinkajou-like animal crouches along a curved branch, head tilted down as it reaches one front paw toward a small round bud or fruit at the end of the twig. It has a dark nose, a big round eye, a small rounded ear and a thick body covered in short sketchy fur lines. Its long tail curves down the right side and curls into a tight spiral at the bottom, near a large lobed leaf with deep cut slits. Some small leaves peek out behind the tail. The fur texture gives plenty of spots for crayons or colored pencils. Try soft golden browns on the body, darker brown on the nose and ear, and two greens on the leaf. This free printable also works well for a quick lesson on rainforest animals that climb and grip with their tails.
