Curiosity: Prehistoric Megafauna

If there is one thing I love, it is prehistoric megafauna.  Today I was searching around for the article the witnesses gave me so that I could put up pictures, and instead I found this extremely interesting article regarding prehistoric megafauna.  My favorite prehistoric megafauna is the Megatherium aka the Giant Sloth.  It has fingers like shovels.  It has arm bones like tree trunks. It has a face like Volkswagen.  Later I will explain all about megatheriums, which are much larger and cooler than today’s ordinary theriums which are still ok but not great. 

I am disappointed that the National Geographic did not use the scientific term for megafauna. “Big Beast” just sounds childish.  This is not a comic book.  This is real life.
