Ground sloths :
--------------------------------------------------
Ground sloths are a diverse group of extinct sloths in the mammalian superorder Xenarthra. Ground sloths varied widely in size, with the largest genera Megatherium and Eremotherium being around the size of elephants.
Nothrotheriops was the smallest of the three, reaching upto 9 feet long (2.76 meters), with a weight up to 550 pounds (250 kg), about the size of a black bear. Ground sloths are a paraphyletic group, as living tree sloths are thought to have evolved from ground sloth ancestors.

Mammoths(long-haired elephants):
--------------------------------------------------
A mammoth is any species of the extinct elephantid genus Mammuthus, one of the many genera that make up the order of trunked mammals called proboscideans. The various species of mammoth were commonly equipped with long, curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They lived from the Pliocene epoch (from around 5 million years ago) into the Holocene at about 4,000 years ago, and various species existed in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. They were members of the family Elephantidae, which also contains the two genera of modern elephants and their ancestors.Males reached shoulder heights between 2.7 and 3.4 m (8.9 and 11.2 ft) and weighed up to 6 metric tons (6.6 short tons). Mammoths are more closely related to living Asian elephants than African elephants.
