Title:
Giant Sloth - Claw (4,800,000 - 11,000 Years Old)
Description:
Often known for their great claws and ungainly appearance, ground sloths were a very successful family of mammals.
Originating in South America, smaller species of ground sloth made their first appearance in the fossil record during the Oligocene Epoch 35 million years ago. Over millions of years in relative isolation, sloths grew in size becoming true giants only eclipsed by the mammoths.
The largest known species evolved during the Pliocene epoch.
