Megatherium

Description

The megatherium is a large, prehistoric relative of the modern three-toed sloth. Unlike its smaller cousin, however, the megatherium is an omnivore. Its 20-cm claws can pull down tender top shoots from trees, or rip the shell off a glyptodont. When reared up on its hind legs, megatherium towers 6 meters.
