Catonyx (SciiFii)

The greater anteater ground sloth (Catonyx cirus) is a species of ground sloth of the family Scelidotheriidae, which originally lived in South America during the Pleistocene epoch from 2.5 Ma to about 10,000 years ago, existing for approximately 2.49 million years, as an extinct species of Catonyx, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The greater anteater ground sloth is named for its fur coloration, which is almost identical to the fur coloration of the giant anteater. It is a rather large animal and can grow to be about the size of a large brown bear on average. Like other ground sloths, the greater 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 greater anteater ground sloth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the greater anteater ground sloth's wide natural range.
