An extinct genus of large ground sloth from South America that lived millions of years ago.
From Greek 'glyptos' (carved) and 'therion' (beast), named for the notched or carved-looking appearance of its teeth under a microscope.
These massive creatures were about the size of today's hippopotamus and had specialized teeth that looked almost sculptural under magnification—paleontologists literally named them after their 'carved' dental features.
