These massive mammals originated in South America before expanding their territory across the Americas millions of years ago. During the Great American Biotic Interchange, giant sloths crossed the newly formed Isthmus of Panama and colonized vast regions of North America.
Equipped with huge, curved claws and powerful jaw muscles, these prehistoric giants stripped leaves, twigs, and bark from high tree branches. The foraged heavily for tough vegetation, desert cacti, yucca plants, and local grasses.
