Giant Ground Sloth Claw on Display Stand KO-157-S 1.4 MYA. In 1948 Spillmann provided the genus name Eremotherium. The species eomigrans was given by De Iullis and Cartelle in 1999. Giant Sloths, which weighed up to 20,000 pounds, had very large, dangerous-looking claws. Despite their size, they were probably only used to strip leaves or bark from plants. The teeth of the Giant Sloths were small and blunt, in keeping with their herbivore diet. Examination of their hip bones suggests that they could stand on their hind legs to extend their grazing as high as twenty feet. The claw is also available without the stand. See below.
