peeled off v. slid off

[hhtt21]

"As I gaped in amazement, the black wolf fur peeled off their arms and legs, then slid off their bodies."

I see no difference between peeled off and slid off above. Would you please explain it? It is clear that the children dressed a wolf man costume for a joke and they were removing/taking off the dress. I know demonstrating such words are hard.

Thank you.

"Slid off" suggests a smooth movement, with the fur simply falling off, from the bodies to the floor.
"Peeled off" suggests a slightly slower movement, with the connotation of a movement similar to someone peeling a banana.
