Megalonyx (SciiFii)

The Jefferson's ground sloth (Megalonyx jeffersonii), also known as the Jefferson's sloth and, sometimes, the sasquatch (though not to be confused with the bigfoot), is a species of ground sloths of the family Megalonychidae, which originally lived in North America from the Late Miocene to the Pleistocene, living from ~10.3 Mya—11,000 years ago, existing for approximately 10.289 million years, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern forests, swamps, open woodlands, and wooded scrublands throught North America (including Mexico, the United States, and Canada) to help boost biodiversity. It is a rather large terrestrial sloth, measuring about 3 meters (9.8 feet) long and weighing up to around 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb), although it is still medium-sized among the giant ground sloths. Like other ground sloths, it has a blunt snout, massive jaw, and large peg-like teeth. The hind limbs are plantigrade (flat-footed) and this, along with its stout tail, allow it to rear up into a semi-erect position to feed on tree leaves. The forelimbs have three highly developed claws that are used to strip leaves and tear off branches. The adult Jefferson's ground sloth is known to care for young Jefferson's ground sloths of different generations, ensuring the further survival of its species. The conservation status of the Jefferson's ground sloth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Jefferson's ground sloth's wide natural range, and their ability to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs in a manner similar to whitetail/mule deer, they are already nonaggressive and completely tame towards people and domestic animals (likely a result of genetic engineering by SciiFiil).
