Book excerpt: Slow, heavy steps rumble through the woods. The steps grow louder as a single, shockingly large animal lurches into view. Its body is almost bearlike. But it is much, much larger than any bear. With its blunt snout it looks more like a hugely overgrown hamster---a hamster the size of an elephant. The large beast moves slowly and strangely, swaying from side to side. Near a tall, broad-leafed tree it stops to eat. Lions prowl on the edge of the woods searching for food. They catch the scent of the beast, but they show no interest. No one cares to disturb it, not while it's eating---not at any other time, either. This is the Giant Ground Sloth! Book jacket.
