Mylodontidae is a family of extinct South American and North American ground sloths within the suborder Folivora of order Pilosa, living from around 23 million years ago (Mya) to 11,000 years ago. This family is most closely related to another family of extinct ground sloths, Scelidotheriidae, as well as to the extant arboreal two-toed sloths, family Choloepodidae; together these make up the superfamily Mylodontoidea. Phylogenetic analyses based on morphology uncovered the relationship between Mylodontidae and Scelidotheriidae; in fact, the latter was for a time considered a subfamily of mylodontids. However, molecular sequence comparisons were needed for the correct placement of Choloepodidae. These studies have been carried out using mitochondrial DNA sequences as well as with collagen a

  • Els milodòntids (Mylodontidae) són una família extinta de peresosos gegants. Probablement eren de moviments lents, usant les urpes davanteres com a arma defensiva. (ca)

  • I milodontidi (Mylodontidae) sono una famiglia di bradipi terricoli estinti, vissuti tra il Miocene inferiore e il Pleistocene superiore (da 23 milioni di anni fa a circa 11.000 anni fa). (it)
  • Los milodóntidos (Mylodontidae) son una familia extinta de perezosos gigantes.Probablemente era de movimientos lentos, usando sus garras delanteras como arma defensiva.Los milodóntidos junto con sus parientes los escelidotéridos y los orofodóntidos formaban el clado , una de las principales radiaciones evolutivas de los perezosos terrestres. El descubrimiento de sus fósiles en cavernas asociadas con ocupación humana llevó a algunos autores a teorizar que los humanos antiguos construían corrales cuando querían procurarse un perezoso terrestre joven, para criarlo y más tarde consumirlo.​ Sin embargo, la datación por radiocarbono no apoya la ocupación simultánea de estos sitios por humanos y perezosos.​ Hallazgos de algunos restos subfósiles como coprolitos, pelo y piel han permitido inferir (es)

  • Mylodontidae är en utdöd familj av sengångare som uppkom troligen under oligocen (23 miljoner år sedan) och som dog ut under tidig holocen (cirka 11 000 år sedan). Familjen räknas tillsammans med familjerna Megatheriidae, , och till jättesengångarna men denna beteckning syftar bara på ytliga kännetecken. De är inte närmare släkt med varandra än med nulevande mindre sengångare av familjerna tvåtåiga och tretåiga sengångare. Fylogenetiska studier tyder på att Mylodontidae är närmast släkt med de tvåtåiga sengångarna. Kvarlevor av familjen hittades bara i Nord- och Sydamerika. (sv)
  • Mylodontidae — вымершее семейство млекопитающих подотряда Folivora отряда Pilosa, существовавшее от 23 млн до 11 тыс. лет назад. Это семейство наземных ленивцев родственно другим семействам наземных ленивцев, то есть Megatheriidae, Nothrotheriidae, и . Из подотряда Folivora в нынешнее время существуют только семейства Bradypodidae и Megalonychidae. Филогенетический анализ, использующий гомологический набор из всех существующих семейств неполнозубых, свидетельствует о том, что Mylodontidae ближе к Megalonychidae, чем к Bradypodidae. (ru)
