Lestodon is an extinct genus of megafaunal ground sloth from South America during the Pliocene to Pleistocene periods. Its fossil remains have been found in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Brazil. Measuring approximately 4.6 metres (15 ft) from snout to tail tip, it is estimated to have weighed 3,600–4,100 kilograms (4.0–4.5 short tons). It was a herbivore and primarily fed on the grasses on the South American plains and is thought to perhaps have used its semi-bipedal stance to obtain foliage from trees. Lestodon is placed as member of the Mylodontidae as indicated by the lobed form of the last tooth in the dentition.

  • Il lestodonte (gen. Lestodon) è un grande mammifero estinto, vissuto nel Pleistocene (circa 1 milione di anni fa). Appartiene al gruppo dei pelosi (Pilosa), e i suoi resti sono stati rinvenuti in Sudamerica. (it)
  • Lestodon ist eine Gattung aus der heute ausgestorbenen Familie der Mylodontidae, die große, bodenlebende Faultiere umfasste. Es gehört neben Megatherium und Eremotherium zu den größten bekannten Faultieren überhaupt, war mit diesen beiden aber nicht näher verwandt. Funde von Lestodon sind vor allem aus der Pamparegion und nördlich anschließenden Gebieten in Südamerika überliefert und datieren vom Pliozän vor rund 5 Millionen Jahren bis in das ausgehende Pleistozän vor etwa 10.000 Jahren, wobei Fossilreste aus dem Oberen Pleistozän weitaus häufiger beobachtet werden. Sie lassen annehmen, dass der Faultiervertreter hauptsächlich offene Landschaften bewohnte. (de)
