Nothrotheriops shastensis
This is a commission for a paleontologist friend of mine. Goth Sloth! The giant ground sloth was larger than an elephant, but it walked on the outsides of its feet! So bizarre!
Smilodon populator vs shasta ground sloth (paikassa La Brea Tar Pits) Both figures were bought from ebay.ie/usr/tams7prairie https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4Reuol67O/?igshid=x1g1awojccg3
Last night I was watching a documentary about the ice age, and they started talking about the Shasta Ground Sloth, which (for those of you who don't know) was a massive slothy thing about the size of a cow, and it was so awesome it could fight off a smilodon (sabre-toothed cat/tiger) and apparently loads of its poo is still hanging around all mummified near the Grand Canyon or somewhere.
I don't know, it was late and I wasn't really concentrating, but there is definitely a huge load of mummified sloth poo somewhere in the world.
The more you know.
Edit: I just checked, it is near the Grand Canyon.
