The aquatic sloth, Thalassocnus, is one of the most intriguing lineage of mammal known from the southern pacific coast of South America during the late Neogene. It was initially recognized in Perú, but recent paleontological surveys also recorded it

International audience; The anatomy of the skeletal elements of the hind limb of Thalassocnus is described. This genus of "ground sloth" comprises five species represented by Neogene specimens from the coast of Peru and Chile, mostly found in the Pis

International audience; The Thalassocninae is a monogeneric subfamily of five species of Neogene sloths. Until now, Thalassocnus has been considered as belonging to the Nothrotheriidae, a family of megatherian 'ground sloths' of intermediate body siz
