giant sloth
fact filethe giant sloth grew to 19 feet and weighed 5 tonnes and sometimes heavier. nothing except the short faced bear hunted it because of its intimidating height and bulk and could scare off sabre toothed cats. its second defence where its giant claws which could kill smaller animals in just one swipe of its claws. but it was not a carnivore it was a herbivore and unlike sloths today it didn't climb instead it walked around looking for high trees to eat leaves it could reach. another name it was called was megatherium.
