At any rate, with this example before us, we need not wonder overmuch at the ability of megatherium and mylodon to hold their own in the presence of the sabretooth.    From Wordnik.com.  [VIII. Primeval Man; and the Horse, the Lion, and the Elephant] Reference

Of the mylodon Doctor Moreno found not only comparatively fresh bones, with bits of sinew, but dried dung—almost as large as that of an elephant—and some big pieces of skin.    From Wordnik.com.  [VIII. Primeval Man; and the Horse, the Lion, and the Elephant] Reference

The sloths and armadilloes of South America had their gigantic predecessors in the enormous megatherium and mylodon, and the strongly armed glyptodon; the kangaroos and wombats of Australia had their extinct predecessors in a kangaroo nearly twice the size of the largest living species, and in so huge a wombat, that its bones have been mistaken for those of the hippopotamus; and the ornithic inhabitants of New Zealand had their predecessors in the monstrous birds, such as the dinornis, the aptornis, and the palapteryx, -- wingless creatures like the ostrich, that stood from six to twelve feet in height.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed] Reference
