Eremotherium Giant Ground Sloth | Curiosity Trek!

Kaltura

Millions of years ago, massive prehistoric creatures roamed the earth. Host Andrew travels down to the Charleston Museum to see the remains of one animal which was native to the southeast – the Eremotherium Giant Ground Sloth. This enormous skeleton is not only eye-catching - it inspires awe for Charleston Museum visitors! The Eremotherium resided in South America and North America’s southeast until changes in the earth’s climate caused this animal’s extinction.

Curator of Natural History Matthew Gibson joins Andrew to discuss the Eremotherium’s time on earth.
