Did this animal go extinct during recorded history?
To clarify, I would have the dodo going extinct during recorded history, while the wooly mammoth, although made extinct by humans, would not have gone extinct during recorded history.

Dimetroden-- No.
Recorded History-- That's a bit of a difficult question. For the most part they were extinct prior to recorded history, although isolated populations may have survived well into the period of recorded history.

Could it be an ancient bison?

Not an ancient bison!
There's a pretty big hint I could give, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow!

Dire Wolf-- No.
Living Relatives-- Yes! In fact, I would recommend trying to figure out the relatives, rather than taking random stabs at the animal itself. (This will take the place of the promised hint, which added to it, would make thing *way* too easy now!)

Is this animal's relative not originally native to North America?

I'm not sure about "originally", but at least some of its relatives live in the wild in North America, though with much less range than the animal in question. North America would not be the continent the relative is most associated with, however.

Yep, a giant sloth or ground sloth. Interestingly, according to Wikipedia , while they disappeared on mainland North and South America 10,000 years ago, they may have survived as late as 1550 on islands in the West Indies.

Yeah, lance pretty much had it, so if he wants to take it, he might as well.

Actually, I was using this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_animals_of_North_America Oddly enough, a tree sloth was gonna be my next animal, but since Eryk picked a sloth, I will give a huge hint - my animal is not a tree sloth.
