Preserved for over 13,000 years, these impressive toenails were discovered in Chile and belong to the Mylodon darwinii, a colossal mammal that once roamed our planet during the Pleistocene era. Against a pristine white background, these ancient claws take center stage as testaments to Earth's rich biodiversity.
