I worked with the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History and paleontologist Wayne Thompson to reconstruct the Jefferson’s ground sloth. Reconstructions of this taxa often have errors such as pedolateral foot positions (as opposed to the plantigrade position of megalonychids) and exaggerated limb postures. This reconstruction brings a complete and more accurate lateral view of the skeletal with a life restoration included.
