Also, more photos of ongoing excavations and also of the partial skeletons laid out for viewing would help flesh out this section. Basic information on the giant ground sloths would help the novice: When did they live? Where did they live? What were they like? Even providing external links to other websites with information would be helpful. Who are the "international team of scholars" and what institutions do they represent? Including a listing of the major questions that the researchers are trying to answer would help the reader open their mind to various possibilities. Even duplicating here some of the info and photos that you've placed in individual blog entries would help the newcomer get up to speed on the project.
