En 1788 un misterioso cadáver fue desenterrado en el Río de la Plata, un conjunto de huesos fósiles de un cuadrúpedo gigantesco imposible de identificar. Los restos fueron embalados y enviados al Gabinete de Historia Natural de Madrid, el antecedente del actual Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales. Allí fue montado, expuesto y dibujado. Con dentadura de herbívoro y unas garras que parecían de un carnívoro, aquella quimera resultó ser un perezoso gigante. Es el Megaterio, el primer gran vertebrado reconstruido en todo el mundo. Un historiador de la ciencia, una paleontóloga y una archivera nos hablan de éste y otros animales extintos, de las revoluciones del tiempo y de la historia de la vida en este planeta.
