Iam not sure what you mean by added. I don't recall the sloth (perhaps you are thinking of UNKNOWN ISLAND) but I do remeber there is one quick shot of enlarged lizard and the heroes battle a pterdactyl. The most recent print I saw had some scence missing
shareLOST CONTINENT list of creatures:
-- giant unidentified lizard
-- brontosaurus (2)
-- triceratops (3)
-- pterodactyl
No sloth.
I had a feeling you'd show up on this site with the same question.
Hey, late at night, i watched this film and i say they could have done better! That giant lizard was only in the film for 5 secs. Why couln't they fight it in the end? The 2 fighting triceptops is good but not great and i wish there was a t-rex there! I saw the bronto but that was from king kong! I think i was thinking of unkown island of that giant sloth, doh! Bye!
shareNo, the bronto wasn't from KING KONG, although in both films they had the bront chase a guy up a tree. All the animation in LC was done for that film, no "outside" monsters. At least the filmmakers deserve credit for going to the trouble to use stop-motion models, though they weren't done terribly well, instead of the usual low-budget big lizards (although yes, they did use one such big lizard in a quick shot). That showed some care about how the movie looked.
Yeah, as our other poster above said, I also think you're thinking of UNKNOWN ISLAND about the giant sloth. Offhand the only dinosaurs depicted in that one were a bunch of T-Rexes, with as I recall one or two shots of brontos standing in a bog not doing much.
Well, the bronto did look like the bronto in king kong but not the same so your right. Can i say that did you like film, i liked it and hate it, they could have done better with that lizard (that was 4 5secs in the film!!!!!!!) and they could have done another dinosaur in the film.
shareThe film did however use diaster footage special effects from the often moned 1940 ONE MILLION BC. The often use earth splitting open from OMBC is obvious.
shareTrue, but no OMBC monsters. Id like to have been the guy who owned the rights to that earth-splitting snippet -- you could retire on the residuals from its use in hundreds of films of the 40s and 50s!

Unknown Island monsters:
brontosaurus/diplodocus/apatosaurus models
A mechanical "fin backed lizard" (dimetrodon)
"Tyrannosaurus rex men-in-suits (but they are really patterned after Ceratosaurus)
And the big orange Ground sloth, which was a slightly converted ape suit worn by its owner, 1940's gorilla man extroadinaire, Ray "CRASH" Corrigan.
Lost continent monsters:
An tiny Anole lizard.
A "Brontosaurus" (stop motion)
2 battling ceratopsians (stop motion and God knows what they were supposed to be...we lovingly think of them as triceratops but still....those fanned frills and all)
and a rhamphoryncus (flying lizard)
The animation in Lost Continent was a lot closer to Art Clokey than Ray Harryhausen and was immediately used in stock footage in ROBOT MONSTER and of course the afermentioned Twilight Zone episode.

The ceratopsians look most like anchiceratops.
