   Extractions: ISM Home Exhibits The Midwestern U.S. 16,000 Years Ago Four species of ground sloths inhabited the United States at the end of the last Ice Age. These were Jefferson's ground sloth ( Megalonyx jeffersonii ), Laurillard's ground sloth ( Eremotherium laurillardi ), the Shasta ground sloth ( Nothrotheriops shastensis ), and Harlan's ground sloth ( Glossotherium harlani ). Of these four only two, Jefferson's and Harlan's ground sloths, are found in the midwestern U.S. The picture above shows a reconstruction of Jefferson's ground sloth from the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History Harlan's ground sloth is reconstructed as looking quite similar to Jefferson's. Ground sloths were large relatives of the modern two-toed sloths ( Choloepus spp.) and three-toed sloths ( Bradypus spp.). Unlike modern sloths, which spend most of their time in trees, the ground sloths spent all of their time on the ground. This is fortunate because Jefferson's and Harlan's ground sloth were each about the size of an oxen. All four species of ground sloth had very large claws . However, all were herbivores. They had relatively small, blunt

   http://www.csam.montclair.edu/ceterms/mammals/sloths.html
   
   Extractions: Three-Toed, Bradypus variegatus Other than howler monkeys, not many mammal species on BCI can live and flourish on a steady diet of tree leaves, but sloths do very well on this food source, provided they are the right kinds of leaves. Tree leaves tend to be coarse and difficult to digest, full of tough cellulose and protected by toxic chemicals produced by trees to ward off their predators. In this war between plants and the animals that would eat them, sloths have succeeded through adaptations that enable them to be leaf-eaters, or folivores. Furthermore, they do their leaf-eating on the crowns of mature trees, only infrequently coming down to the ground, so they are called arboreal folivores. The story of their adaptation to the canopy of the forest and to leafy food supplies is an unusual one. People used to think that sloths eat only one species of tree leaf, but as a population they feed on a great assortment of trees, using at least 25 tree species on BCI. However, each sloth family has its own few favorite tree species which are found within a small home area, and which are different from the preferences of their neighbors. Mother sloths appear to pass along their food preferences and their knowledge of the home area during a long period when they carry their young around their area. Sloths seem to have a matrilineal (transmitted through the mother) inheritance of home ranges and food preferences.

   Extractions: Since March, 03.2004 Appearance: They do most things upside down: eat, sleep (an average of 15 hours per day), mate, and give birth. Because of their upside down life, many of their internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. Sloths sometimes let out a cry or hissing sound.

The group currently includes armadillos 2-toed sloths 3-toed sloths , and anteaters , placed in four families containing 29 species. These animals are mostly insectivores and herbivores of small to medium body size (up to around 60 kg). In the past, however, xenarthrans were much more diverse and numerous. They radiated into around a dozen families, including not only the groups known today, but also such animals as giant ground sloths, some of which were larger than elephants; glyptodonts, reaching 3 m in length and the most heavily armored vertebrates that ever existed; and a large number of smaller grazing and browsing forms. Several groups of xenarthrans successfully crossed the Central American land bridge to North America when it formed in the Pliocene; these included a number of kinds of ground sloths and armadillos. Only one species, however, an armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ), is still alive today.

12. SLOTH FAQ : Three Toed Sloths
    from Animal Diversity Web Bradypodidae. three toed sloths. Threetoed sloths weigh 3 - 5 kg; their bodies run around 0.5 m in length.  
    http://sloths.org/faq/3toe.html
    
    Extractions: from Animal Diversity Web This family includes 3 Recent species in one genus, Bradypus. It is distributed through Central and South America, south to southern Brazil. Three-toed sloths weigh 3 - 5 kg; their bodies run around 0.5 m in length. They are covered with dense, long, shaggy fur made up of thick hairs with longitudinal grooves. Beneath the overfur is short underfur of finer texture. Some have unusually long neck hairs, which form a mane. Individual hairs are directed so that they point towards the ground when the animal hangs beneath a branch, perhaps helping it shed rain. Three-toed sloths are mostly tan or yellow-brown in color (with some contrasting markings on the face and mane), and the grooves in the individual hairs contain algal cells that give the coat a greenish cast. Bradypodids have a short and very stout tail. The forearms of three-toed sloths are longer than the hind limbs. Fore and hind feet have three enlarged, hook-like claws. The claws are separate, but the digits to which they attach are syndactylous. Three-toed sloths have a short, rounded skull. The profile is somewhat flattened dorsoventrally. The zygomatic arch is incomplete. A large jugal is present, and at its termination it forks broadly into dorsal and ventral processes. A tympanic bulla is present. The mandible has a well developed coronoid process, and the condyloid process is elevated above the level of the toothrow. The teeth of three-toed sloths are highly distinctive. Incisors and canines are lacking and the number of cheek teeth is reduced to 5/4-5 = 18-20. Each tooth is a simple, ever-growing peg surrounded by a thin layer of dentine (but no enamel) and coated with cementum. The anteriormost teeth are smaller than the more posterior ones, and the anterior upper teeth do not occlude with the anterior lower teeth.

18. The Sloth - Enchanted Learning Software
    sloths spend most of their lives hanging upsidedown from tree branches; they eat, sleep, mate, and give birth upside-down in the trees.  
    http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/sloth/index.shtml
    
    Extractions: Sloths have a thick brown (and slightly-greenish) fur coat. Sloths are about the size of a cat (roughly 2 feet = 61 cm long). They have a short, flat head, big eyes, a short snout, a short or non-existent tail, long legs, and tiny ears. Sturdy, curved claws are on each foot; they use these claws to hang from trees. Some sloths have colonies of green algae encrusting their fur, both adding to the camouflage effect and providing some nutrients to the sloths, who lick the algae.
