''Mylodon'' is an extinct genus of giant ground sloth that lived in the Patagonia area of South America until roughly 10,000 years ago.
==Taxonomy==
''Mylodons close relatives include the giant ground sloths of the genera ''Glossotherium'' and ''Paramylodon''. The latter genus has often been confused with ''Glossotherium'' but ''Paramylodon'' is a distinct genus that was restricted to the Pleistocene of North America.〔 (2007). Reassessing the Taxonomy and Affinities of the Myodontinae sloths, ''Glossotherium'' and ''Paramylodon'' (Mammalia: Xenarthra: Tardigrada). Ph.D. Dissertation, Northern Illinois University.〕 ''Glossotherium'' also shares a long history of taxonomic confusion with ''Mylodon'', and currently the only recognized species is ''Mylodon darwinii''. At one time, the elephant-sized ''Megatherium'' was thought to be closely related, but is recognized as belonging to a separate family (Megatheriidae).
