Okay, I know we've had threads similar to this many, many times before, but bear with me, this is a new twist.

According to this, there was a species of small ground sloth living in Cuba until the 16th century. I use the word "small" relatively, this thing weighed 200 pounds.

Now, could the natives of Cuba domesticated the surviving sloths prior to Columbian contact? They would have eaten shoots and were most likely fairly social, so domestication isn't too far out of the question...
