This new study published in #BiologyLetters reveals just how diverse #GroundSloths' diets were, highlighting the ecological roles that vanished when they went extinct. buff.ly/mfZhhma | #Ecology #Evolution #Palaeontology @vanderbilt.edu

From the highlands, an enormous beast lumbers down. Consuming all in its path, fauna and flora alike. This is the mighty Kulumbara! They are the largest of the golems, with boars weighing on average 12-14 tons, and sows weighing 8-9 tons.

Bright yellow-green, lumpy, brain-looking, round fruit on a bed of mostly brown leaves on a forest floor.

After 8 years in this house my #OsageOrange #trees have produced their first #fruits (6 so far)!

A sacred tree to native people – prized for #bows – and spread through trade. Otherwise fascinating for rot-resistant wood, and that #GroundSloths probably loved these fruits.
