Megalocnus and some other Caribbean sloths survived until about 5,000 years ago, long after ground sloths had died out on the mainland, but then went extinct when humans finally colonized the Greater Antilles.

Yet in the 21st century even the new global medicine of obesity stresses that there may well be a plurality of often-conflicting causes (read: meanings) of obesity. Central among them, however, are social and genetic-physiological explanations: Another reason for their slow movement is poor eyesight. Although sloths haven’t always been tree-dwellers, when they moved up into the trees as almost-blind animals, they had to take things slow to avoid falling. Best known for their super slow movements and cute but creepy faces, sloths are a unique kind of mammal exclusive to Southern and Central America. There are two different families of sloths—two-toed sloths and three-toed sloths. Aside from the number of claws they have, the two types can also be distinguished via their faces. Two-toed sloths have bigger eyes and a lighter, more tousled coat, while three-toed sloths have the famous dark facial markings that make it look like they’re always smiling.

Muscle mass makes up only 25 to 30 percent of their total body weight. Most other mammals have a muscle mass that makes up 40 to 45 percent of their total body weight. [31] Their specialised hands and feet have long, curved claws to allow them to hang upside down from branches without effort, [32] and are used to drag themselves along the ground, since they cannot walk. On three-toed sloths, the arms are 50 percent longer than the legs. [24]

Gilman’s ‘criticism’ of our ‘basic’ approach is perhaps a compliment. It is a popular, entertaining, sometimes provocative, approach to the subject of obesity, covering aspects of the history of obesity through medicine, literature and art. Nothrotheriidae: ground sloths that lived from approximately 11.6 million to 11,000 years ago. As well as ground sloths, this family included Thalassocnus, a genus of either semiaquatic or fully aquatic sloths. Goffart, M. (1971). "Function and Form in the sloth".
