Scelidodon (SciiFii)

The common anteater ground sloth (Scelidodon vulgaris) is a species of ground sloth that originally lived in the Yupoí and Uspara Formations of Argentina, the Ulloma, Umala, Ñuapua and Tarija Formations of Bolivia, in Brazil, in Chile and in Peru, as an extinct species of Scelidodon, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The common anteater ground sloth is named for its fur coloration, which is similar to the fur coloration of the giant anteater, but is darker in color. It is a rather small animal compared with most mainland ground sloth species, and can grow to be about 3.7 feet (1.1 metres) tall at the shoulders and weigh up to 850 kg (1,870 lb).. Like other ground sloths, the common anteater ground sloth is a browser which uses both its strong, clawed front limbs and strong lips to grab vegetation, which primarily consists of leaves, fruits, and other kinds of vegetation. The conservation status of the common anteater ground sloth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the common anteater ground sloth's wide natural range.
