Helsinki Zoo (24) - 2 August 2016

Giant Ground Sloth

The real thing has been extinct for 8000 years but this model of a South American mammal which could exceed 6m in length and (according to the placard) an extraordinary 7000kg (although estimates vary widely) is very striking. It is at the north entrance to Helsinki Zoo/Korkeasaari.
