80% Informative
Giant ground sloths once roamed from Alaska to Argentina , carving caves with massive claws and diving into oceans for seagrass meals.
These ancient giants, some weighing 8,000 pounds , dominated the Americas for over 30 million years before vanishing around 15,000 years ago .
Today ’s six sloth species—all small and arboreal—survived in dense, inaccessible forest canopies where early humans rarely ventured.
