Synopsis

Ground Sloth: A Guide About the Twenty-Foot Giant That Moved in Slow Motion

It was the size of an elephant, moved like it had all the time in the world, and dominated the ancient landscape of the Americas for millions of years. The ground sloth was one of the most fascinating and bizarre creatures the prehistoric world ever produced. And then, like so many giants of the Ice Age, it was gone. What it looked like, how it lived, what it ate, and why it disappeared without a living descendant is a story that paleontology is still working to fully tell. This book tells it in a way that no textbook ever has.

From its towering frame and enormous claws to its surprising intelligence and ecological role in the prehistoric Americas, this guide to the ground sloth takes readers inside the life of one of history's most extraordinary megafauna. If prehistoric animals, Ice Age giants, and ancient extinction events fascinate you, this book belongs in your hands.
