Giant sloths must have been easy pickin’s for hunters. Big, lots of meat, can’t run fast, and spent most of the day sleeping in trees. No surprise that they went extinct.

That’s a seriously strong tree to hold up a 2800 pound sleeping sloth all day. And it really bruises the meat when he falls out dead.
