Happy #MegafaunaMonday! Meet the largest of the giant ground sloths, Megatherium americium. Just how giant was it? It may have weighed as much as 4,400-8,800 lbs (2,000-4,000 kg)—that makes it about 400-800x the size of its modern & very distant relative, the three-toed sloth! pic.twitter.com/BFUdZ2KZoN
