Giant Ground Sloths diesd out about 4,200 years ago. Their diet was generally plant based but ir is suspected that (based non gnawed bones) that they ate carrion when they found it. They also were not above snacking on ground nesting birds and insectcts as bell. This makes them very similar in diet to present day deer.and cattle.
They could be described as opportunistic omnivores - they'll eat meat when they can but subsist generally on plants
