Megatherium


The animal which you are seen is called as “ Megatherium “. It lives around 5 million years agoin the region of South America. Megatherium is one of the largest mammals. It weighs 5 tons, i.e., it seems to be a African elephant. It seems like a bear shaped in structure, but it has a long and strong tail which would balance while standing. Like bear it stands in two legs while eating food. It has a long tounge, which is used to pull leaves into its mouth. The teeth are too strong, that hard fibrous food could easily be grinded and crushed. These animals are hunted by many scavengers.
