Figure 3. (a) Giant sloth painting at La Lindosa: 1. massive claws; 2. short rostrum; 3. large head; 4. robust thorax; 5. inverted pes; 6. offspring; 7. miniature men. (b) Artistic reconstruction of Eremotherium patterned after its closest living relative Bradypus. (c) Artistic reconstruction of Arctotherium patterned after its closest living relative, Tremarctos ornatus (Mike Keesey). Keesey's reconstructions are figurative works of art, where he took the liberty of adding features that are not visible in the rock art like fur, ear canals and wrinkles, among other features.
