"He's about the size and weight of a Volkswagen Beetle"
I didn't know a Volkswagen Beetle weighed 8 tons?
"It was roughly the same size and weight as a Volkswagen Beetle, though flatter in shape."
It's the second freaking sentence, dude.
Megatherium would have shared South America with other animals like the Sabre tooth cats, human sized carnivorous flightless birds and armadillos that were so big that the spiky club on the end of their tail was the size of a cannonball...
Give some love to the other animals...
I probably will. I was thinking about making some other topics every now and a again honoring some sweet animals.
