BUENOS AIRES, Argentina A 3.6 million-year-old giant sloth skull could change the theory about the history of the species in South America, scientists believe.
The perfectly preserved skull of a juvenile sloth, which was found by a team of researchers in Argentina, weighs nearly six tons and is five meters (16.4 feet) long. The location of the rest of the skeleton is not known.
The Megatherium fossil was found two years ago, along with many other prehistoric remains in San Eduardo del Mar, Buenos Aires.
