Jefferson's ground sloth, a large herbivorous mammal that lived during the Pleistocene epoch, faced predation primarily from large carnivores such as saber-toothed cats and dire wolves. These predators would have targeted the sloth, particularly when it was young or injured. Additionally, environmental changes and competition for food with other herbivores may have also posed significant challenges to their survival. Ultimately, their extinction was likely influenced by a combination of these predatory pressures and human activities as they coexisted with early human populations.
