GREAT SLOTH BEAST MEGATHERIUM Pronounced: meg-a-THEE-ree-umLiterally, “great beast” Megatherium was the largest of the ground sloths, and although apparently very awkward and slow-witted, his great size and strength protected him from the large meat-eaters of his time. He lived during the Pleistocene epoch which began 1 million years ago. Thunderbeast Park - Hiway 97 - Chiloquin, Ore.

SAGEBRUSH — STATE FLOWER OF NEVADA SAGEBRUSH This beautiful scene of sagebrush with its colorful pink blossoms is a common sight in the southwest. It stretches as far as the eye can see and besides being beautiful, has practical purposes, as deer and other wildlife feed on it. Sagebrush blooms only after a heavy rain but will bloom in any season. It’s referred to as Cenizo by many Anglos as well as Latin Americans. What am I missing?
