for as long as we known they have been found around the southern tip of Australia probably after the super continent started separating. it is not sure how or what they survived on because the giant sloth had a weak digestive system and most plant material they ate were very hard to find.
Giant ground sloths, which are extinct, likely had similar reproductive patterns to modern sloths. It is believed they may have given birth to one offspring at a time, as is typical for many larger mammals. However, specific numbers for giant ground sloths are not well-documented due to the lack of direct observations.
Giant ground sloths could reach sizes up to 20 feet in length and weigh up to 4 tons.
no they stay in trees to live that's where their food is They go to the ground to defacate.
there both sloths
The ground sloths originally evolved in South America. Two million years ago, the Isthmus of Panama connected North and South America. After that, the ground sloths spread into the southern parts of North America, all the way into the southern USA.

The Americas originally started out in S. America about 23 million years ago. like most other ground sloths when the Americas first connected they moved up north. ground sloths were some of the only fauna that moved to N. America, many of the N.America species moved south though. the giant ground sloth died out or became extinct 10,000 years ago.
Prehistoric sloths lived in various habitats across the Americas, including North America, South America, and the Caribbean. They inhabited diverse environments such as forests, grasslands, and even mountainous regions. Some sloth species were adapted to live in trees while others were ground-dwellers.

Hairy Ground Sloths lived about 1 million years ago. These huge animals, as large as elephants roamed what is now North and South America. The Ground Sloth is a huge Extinct animal of the sloth family. The largest ground Sloth was 20 feet long and as big as an elephant. The Ancestors of the Hairy Ground Sloths of the ground sloths lived in trees and used there hooked claws to hang from the branch. Ground sloth is a diverse group of extinct sloths. The giant ground sloth lived in what is now South America. Taller than a modern day elephant, it became extinct as recently as five thousand years ago.

It is believed that the ground sloths did not used to fight.
BradypodidaeMegalonychidae†Megatheriidae†Nothrotheriidae†Mylodontidae†OrophodontidaePaleontologists divide more than 80 genera of ground sloths in multiple families.
