Sloth Lizard

Despite its name, it shares no resemblance to sloths or lizards of modern time, nor is related to any of these species. It is actually a descendant of troodons that survived extinction of most non-avian dinosaurs and replaced the long-extinct therizinosaurs (which sadly didn't make it through the extinction). They resemble a feathered version of a prosauropod dinosaur of the Triassic and Early Jurassic, with only males having a feather ornament on their tails, which resembles that of a male peacock, for attracting females of their own kind. They are mostly herbivorous, feeding on leaves, berries, ferns, thorny bushes, ivys (even poison ivys since they have a strong immmune system against their poison), cycads, horsetails, and large mosses, but can sometimes feed on carrion to supplement their diet and when they do, nothing gets in their way. There are more than 250 species of sloth lizards, ranging from white black bear-size to plateosaurus-size ones. They are native to North American grasslands, forests, swamps, subtropical rainforests, and human settlements. All of the known species of sloth lizards are tolerating human activities and are all adapting to human settlements (becoming nonaggressive to humans, etc.) to ensure their survival, even in the human-dominant world. They are named because they also filled the niche left behind by the extinct species of ground sloths such as Megatherium.
