Description: Original Artwork Oil Painting on board of a Pleistocene Mammoth Hunt. This art shows a group of Pleistocene hunters attacking a giant sloth-Megatherium with flint tipped spears and a spear-thrower, spear-throwing lever or atlatl. The Giant Ground Sloth, also known as the Megatherium, was a genus of enormous rhino-sized ground sloths (as opposed to the modern-day tiny tree sloths) that were indigenous to South America and migrated and spread across the entire continent of North America. These large, furry herbivores lived for about 5.3 million years and went into extinction around 10,000 years back. The first hunter-gatherers in North America were present at the time giant sloths and other large mammals native to the continent rapidly became extinct. These early people may have been at least partly responsible for the extinctions The Pleistocene is the geological epoch that lasted from c. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations. This is an artists interpretation of what a Pleistocene hunt might have looked like. This art is 40" w x 15" h
