Megalonyx (Greek, "large claw") is an extinct genus of ground sloths of the family Megalonychidae, native to North America during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. It became extinct during the Quaternary extinction event at the end of the Rancholabrean of the Pleistocene, living from ~5 million to 11,000 years ago. The type species, M. jeffersonii, measured about 3 meters (9.8 ft) and weighed up to 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb). Megalonyx is descended from Pliometanastes, a genus of ground sloth that had arrived in North America during the Late Miocene, prior to the Great American Biotic Interchange. Megalonyx had the widest distribution of any North American ground sloth, having a range encompassing most of the contiguous United States, extending as far north as Alaska during warm periods

rdfs:comment	Megalonyx és un representant conegut dels peresosos terrestres, un grup de mamífers extints que visqueren durant el Pliocè i Plistocè. (ca) Megalonyx war ein Riesenfaultier aus der Familie der Megalonychidae. Die Gattung lebte während des Pliozän und Pleistozän in Nordamerika und starb erst vor etwa 11000 Jahren aus. (de) Megalonyx es un género extinto de perezosos gigantes que vivieron en América desde el Mioceno Superior hasta el Pleistoceno Superior. Eran de gran tamaño, poseían potentes garras para aferrarse a los árboles de los cuales obtenían su alimento. Aunque se consideró vegetariano, algunos científicos plantean la posibilidad de que hubiese consumido alternativamente carroña. Sus restos se encuentran desde Estados Unidos, con el Megalonyx jeffersonii, hasta Argentina, con sus primeros hallazgos. (es) Il megalonice (gen. Megalonyx) conosciuto anche come bradipo gigante era un bradipo terricolo vissuto tra il Miocene superiore e il Pleistocene superiore (tra 10 milioni di anni fa e 10.000 anni fa) in Nordamerica. (it) Megalonyx is een bekende vertegenwoordiger van de grondluiaards, een groep van uitgestorven zoogdieren die tijdens het Plioceen en Pleistoceen leefde. (nl) Мегало́нікс (Megalonyx) — вимерлий рід велетенських лінивців. Існував протягом Пліоцену та Плейстоцену (від 6 млн до 10 тис. років тому). Назва означає «великий кіготь». (uk) Мегалониксы (лат. Megalonyx, от др.-греч. μέγας — большой и ὄνυξ — коготь) — род вымерших гигантских ленивцев из семейства двупалоленивцевые. Мегалониксы жили в Северной Америке с верхнего миоцена по верхний плейстоцен, 10,3 млн — 11,7 тыс. лет назад. Мегалониксы происходят от рода наземных ленивцев , появившихся в Северной Америке в позднем миоцене до Великого американского биотического обмена. Первая волна мегалонихид прибыла в Северную Америку через острова из Южной Америки до образования Панамского сухопутного моста. Согласно молекулярным результатам, их ближайшими родственниками являются трёхпалые ленивцы (Bradypus); более ранние морфологические исследования пришли к иному выводу. (ru) 巨爪地懶（學名：Megalonyx）是中新世晚期至更新世晚期一屬已滅絕的地懶。牠們的近親為二趾樹懶。牠們是北美洲的特有種，是二趾樹懶科下分佈最廣的，最北至阿拉斯加及育空。牠們是由演化而來，其下最早出現的物種是M. wheatleyi。模式種傑氏巨爪地懶（M. jeffersonii）體長可達 3米（9.8英尺），體重則超過 1,000 公斤。 (zh) Megalonyx (Greek, "large claw") is an extinct genus of ground sloths of the family Megalonychidae, native to North America during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs.
