Skidaway Island State Park hosts ancient giant sloth fossil


With its maritime forest and salt marsh, Skidaway Island State Park can feel like a pre-historic jungle from "The Lost World."
While strolling along its winding trails, one could easily envision a duck-billed Hadrosaurid slowly poking its head out from the damp brush. If you can’t help imagining dinosaurs wandering the island’s woods, then you may be delighted to meet one of the actual giants that lived in these parts not too long ago (geologically speaking).
Inside of the park’s interpretive center, among taxidermied animals, bird watching stations, and reptile tanks, stands a towering example of Savannah’s pre-historic wildlife. One of the island’s earliest inhabitants was the Eremotherium, or giant ground sloth, which roamed the Savannah area over 10,000 years ago.
