Here you will find some pics and info about giant sloths.
The giant ground sloth was one of the enormous creatures that thrived during the ice ages. Looking a little bit like an oversized hamster it probably fed on leaves found on the lower branches of trees or bushes. The largest of these ground sloths was Megatherium which grew to the size of a modern elephant. Like other giant creatures that disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene period (about 10,000 years ago), Megatherium, and its smaller sloth cousin, Mylodon, are extinct. Only the small tree sloth survives today. Or so scientists believe.
