## Description

Product Description Megatherium, the so-called ‘giant sloth’, was a massive ground-dwelling relative of modern sloths. This particular species, Megatherium americanum, was the largest of its kind. It browsed for plants in South America during the Pleistocene and became extinct just ten thousand years ago. Megatherium americanum was a large plant-eating mammal with stubby legs and relatively long arms. It was covered with hair and had a blunt skull with strong grinding teeth. It had a broad pelvis and a short tail, and could balance in a squat tripod pose. The large claws on its hands helped it to pull down branches to feed on leaves, and it may have also had a long tongue. It reached 20 feet long – the size of an elephant. This figure is 4.5 inches high and 3.5 inches long. It has yellow-brown fur to reflect the most recent scientific evidence. Megatherium americanum was first named scientifically in 1796 by the eminent French anatomist and ‘father of palaeontology’, Georges Cuvier. He recognized it was an extinct giant sloth, which was significant at the time because the concept of prehistory was only just being understood. He named it Megatherium, which means ‘large beast’. The oldest examples of the genus Megatherium are 5.4 million years old, but the massive species Megatherium americanum evolved much later, in the Pleistocene, around 1.8 million years ago. Humans lived alongside the giant sloth and human hunters may have contributed to its extinction, just ten thousand years ago.

Review: Great - Really nice figure. Good detail. A little smaller than I would have liked considering the size of the animal but it is the only one available from the big brands. Delivery came a day earlier than it was supposed to so overall very very happy
Review: Just as with the ambeladon only make I could find ... - Just as with the ambeladon only make I could find, didn't need to worry, on par with Schleich and papo. Little man was very impressed with his megaferium!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding.
*by D***N on 31 March 2017*

Amazingly detailed and so lifelike. The washes and dry brushing of colour with the durable paint and plastic itself are well worth every penny.
