What does a sloths fur feel like?

Sloths have dense fur that is long, coarse, and often shaggy or matted. The fur is made of two layers: a course outer coat that is water and dirt resistant, and a soft, woolly inner layer. The long fur helps to keep sloths warm and dry in the chilly mountain forests they inhabit, and it also provides camouflage. The texture of a sloths fur is often described as being similar to felt, or wool.
