Medicine & TechnologySouth American paleontologists have unearthed a rare, perfectly preserved fossil of the infamous Ground Sloths that once roamed South America.
Apart from previous theory on how the megafauna such as the giant sloths and mammoths became extinct, a new study blames the wetter season for the loss of vegetation and food.
Scientists found out a high concentration of carbohydrates in the Giant Sloth Megatherium fossilized bones. This indicates an exclusively vegetarian diet.
