Esqueleto de la extinta ilustración de perezosos terrestres gigantes Megatherium 1886 - Ilustración de stock

Megatherium is an extinct genus of ground sloths endemic to South America that lived from the Early Pliocene through the end of the Pleistocene. It is best known for the elephant-sized type species M. americanum, sometimes called the giant ground sloth, or the megathere, native to the Pampas through southern Bolivia during the Pleistocene.
