Greg McDonald, the National Park Service's Senior Curator of Natural History, takes an intimate look at extinct giant ground sloths -- including their ecology, evolution, and how to tell the "boys" from the "girls." From fossils discovered by Darwin in South America to remains later unearthed in Oregon, Dr. McDonald discusses recent research on giant sloths and the light it sheds on the natural history of these fascinating mammals.
