Giant Ground Sloth Exhibit
Daytona Beach: The Impressive 13’ tall skeleton of the giant ground sloth (Eremotheriumolaurilardi) was excavated in 1975 in an important Pleistocene Fossil site called the Daytona Bone Bed. Approximately 130,000 years ago, the Giant Ground Sloth lived in the coastal area of Florida and specifically in Volusia County. This huge, hairy mammal weighed between three to five tons and rose to the height of 15-20’ on its hind legs; was 5’ wide and about 20’ long; and is believed to have roamed Florida lands in herds searching for food. The Volusia County Giant Ground Sloth is the best preserved and most complete fossil of this species in North America and has made its home at The Center for Florida History at MOAS for the past 30 years.
