Scelidotherium

Scelidotherium is an extinct genus of ground sloth of the family Mylodontidae, endemic to South America during the middle Pleistocene epoch. It lived from 780,000—11,000 years ago, existing for approximately 0.67 million years.

It is characterized by an elongated, superficially anteater-like head. In fossil distribution, it is known almost exclusively from Argentina, but its distribution may have extended into Paraguay and Uruguay.
