A ground sloth the size of an elephant, and one of the first fossil mammals ever described — Cuvier named it in 1796 from a skeleton sent to Madrid from Argentina. Modelled rearing on its hind limbs and tail, the tripodal posture the massive pelvis and tail vertebrae were built to support.

About this piece
