===Chalicotherium(5)===
Chalicotherium is a Prehistoric animal. They are a type of giant ground sloth. Chalicotherium, like many members of Perissodactyla, are adapted to browsing, though uniquely adapted to do so among its ungulate relatives. Its arms are long and heavily clawed, allowing them to walk on their knuckles only. The arms are used to reach for high branches and bring them close to its short-faced head to strip them clean of leaves. The horse-like head itself shows adaptation to a diet of soft vegetation, since, as the animal reaches sexual maturity, the incisors and upper canines shed, suggesting that its muscular lips and the resulting gum pads are enough to crop fodder which was then processed by squarish, low-crowned molars. These animals sit on their haunches for extended periods of time while feeding.
