| Description: |
Glossotherium Species, Pleistocene, Tarija Formation, Tariga Province, Bolivia. The ground sloth from which this hand came from may have been 11 feet long. It was a heavily built animal with a length of about thirteen feet from snout to tail-tip and a weight estimated at 2200 pounds and it could potentially assume a slight bipedal stance. Fossils of this animal have been found in South America and Mexico. Glossotherium primarily ate grasses, it also probably ate a variety of foliage as well and would be better considered a “browser-grazer” than simply a grazer. Custom hardwood base. |
