Scelidotherium (SciiFii)

The lesser anteater ground sloth (Scelidotherium myophaga) is a species of ground sloth of the family Scelidotheriidae, which originally lived in South America during the Late Pleistocene epoch from 780,000—11,000 years ago, existing for approximately 0.67 million years, as an extinct species of Scelidotherium, 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 lesser anteater ground sloth is named for its fur coloration, which is similar to the fur coloration of the giant anteater, but is lighter 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 lesser 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 lesser anteater ground sloth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the lesser anteater ground sloth's wide natural range.
