Ground sloth

The extinct giant ground sloth Megatherium and the horned glyptodont Panochthus in prehistoric South America. Both animals would eventually migrate into North America.

Megatherium was a genus of elephant-sized ground sloths endemic to Central America and South America that lived from the Pliocene through to the Pleistocene existing for approximately 5.3 million years.

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.
