Nothrotherium (SciiFii)

The South American brown ground sloth (Nothrotherium americanus) is a species of medium-sized ground sloth that originally lived from South America (Bolivia, Brazil and the Ware Formation, La Guajira, Colombia) during the mid-to-late Pleistocene as an extinct species of Nothrotherium 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 Brazil, Bolivia, and Colombia to help boost biodiversity. The South American brown ground sloth differs from Nothrotheriops, the closest living relative of the South American brown ground sloth, in smaller size and differences in head and hind legs. The South American brown ground sloth is a semi-arboreal animal that is able to climb onto trees, similarly to black bears of North America. Like other ground sloths, the South American brown ground sloth is primarily a browsing herbivore that feeds on leaves, fruits, nuts, and other kinds of vegetation. The conservation status of the South American brown ground sloth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the South American brown ground sloth's wide natural range.
