South America is the continent with the largest number of recorded bird species. [3] Additionally, speciation has occurred at a higher rate in South America than in other parts of the world. [1] This is likely due to the large amount of land mass close to the equator.
All 5 extant genera and 9 of 10 extant species are present in South America, the ancestral home of the group. (The exception is the pygmy three-toed sloth, endemic to an island off Panama.) Numerous ground sloths, some of which reached the size of elephants, were once present in both North and South America, as well as on the Antilles.
