Any models of a Megatherium out there?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good model of a Megatherium, which was a giant (elephant sized) ground sloth of the ice ages. The only one I have seen is one on Turbosquid, which seems pricey and not necessarily suited for Daz Studio. Any other models out there? Thanks!

    Interesting. It looks a little more bear like than some of the reconstructions I have seen (there is still a lot of debate about how head and face would have looked), his Eremotherium is also very interesting. Decisions, decisions.

    I never knew megatheriums were sloths. I had always thought they were mammoth-sized bears--and I was planning on using him for a sci-fi giant mutant grizzly.

    Oh, well. It wouldn't be the first time something stood in for the wrong type of critter--Jurassic Park, I'm looking at YOU lot for using Dakotaraptors in place of Velociraptors...years before Dakotas were even discovered. laugh

    A generation ago I was hunting for one.  I wound up faking it using Capsces' Cat of Nine Lives, with press-on claws and tongue modeled in Stratavision3D, animated in Bryce 4.  The show aired statewide.  Thanks again, @Capsces Digital Ink.

    Your new one looks fabulous.

    Hallelujah!

    I thought they were deinonychus.
