Sloth to Human Size Comparison

I don't know all that's involved in adding pictures/drawings to articles but it would be cool if such was added to the article showing a human being next to a sloth skeleton. I did a search on google but I'm not sure which ones are scientifically accuracte. Thank you. Bill the Cat 7 (talk) 14:02, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

hi bill,

added this photo to the archeological site, but this may be an eyewitness image with humans for scale from the Serranía_de_la_Lindosa archeological site. thumb|Prehistoric animal rock art in Serranía de la Lindosa , cerro azul, guaviare, colombia Erik.roger.fuller (talk) 06:28, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Megatherium is not known from anywhere near Colombia. These interpretations have also been contested, see . Hemiauchenia (talk) 06:46, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Found this from a quick browse through the category, don't know if it's the best, or where it could fit in the article . . dave souza, talk 00:28, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Photo

The current photo doesn't show the entire skeleton. The one I took does show it. @Hemiauchenia: you reverted my edit because you said the new photo is lifeless. Can you explain? Thank you. APK hi :-) (talk) 03:02, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
