Megatheriid, also known as giant ground sloths, are an extinct group of large animals that lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch. There are several synonyms for the word megatheriid, including megatheriine, megatheroid, and megathere. These synonyms refer to the same group of animals and are often used interchangeably in scientific literature. Megatheriids were known for their massive size, with some species reaching up to 6 meters in length and weighing over 4,500 kilograms. Unfortunately, like many other large mammals from the Pleistocene epoch, megatheriids became extinct around 10,000 years ago due to a combination of climate change and human hunting.
