The Remain Of A 27,000 Year Old Giant Sloth Found In A Deep Sinkhole

[sam5971]

In 2014, divers were searching for Maya artifacts in a deep sinkhole in central Belize when they stumbled across the remains of a creature that long predated this ancient civilization. They found a humerus, a femur and part of a tooth belonging to the sloth. The area is a system of 25 lakes and cenotes, or natural sinkholes. The giant ground sloth, which could reach over 13 feet tall, was desperate for water. It found relief in a deep sinkhole, but it was never able to climb out.

Those sinks holes are interesting
The Sloths, Mammoths, Saber toothed lions......died at the end of the ice age
It must have been weird seeing those animals when the first humans arrived to the western hemisphere
BTW Is the humerus the Sloth funny bone?
