What is shown in this coloring page?

The avocado is a unique fruit known for its creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor. Unlike most fruits, it is high in healthy fats. Avocados grow on trees in warm climates and have a single large seed (or pit) in the center. The most common variety, the Hass avocado, has dark, bumpy skin when ripe, while other types can have smooth, green skin. The inside is a vibrant green that gradually lightens towards the pit.
