Baraguatherium is an extinct genus of ground sloths of the family Mylodontidae that lived during the Early Miocene of what is now Venezuela. It dates to the Early Miocene, around 20.44 to 15.97 million years ago and represents the oldest representative of its family in the northern part of South America to date. The structure of the teeth suggests that the genus represents a rather basal form within the Mylodontidae. Unlike other mylodonts, which tended to prefer open grasslands, Baraguatherium lived in a riverine, coastal tropical rainforest.

  • Baraguatherium ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung aus der Familie der Mylodontidae, einer heute ebenfalls erloschenen Linie großer, bodenbewohnender Faultiere. Sie ist anhand von nur wenigen Funden aus dem nordwestlichen Venezuela überliefert und stellt mit einer Datierung der fundführenden Schichten in das Untere Miozän vor und 18 bis 17 Millionen Jahren den bisher ältesten Vertreter ihrer Familie im nördlichen Teil von Südamerika dar. Der Aufbau der Zähne lässt vermuten, dass die Gattung eine eher basale Form innerhalb der Mylodonten darstellt. Im Unterschied zu anderen Mylodonten, die eher offene Graslandschaften bevorzugten, lebte Baraguatherium in einem flussreichen, küstennahen tropischen Regenwald. Wissenschaftlich eingeführt wurde die Gattung im Jahr 2016. (de)
  • Baraguatherium (nombre que significa "bestia de Baragua")​ es un género extinto de perezoso gigante milodóntido,​ que vivió a principios del Mioceno, en lo que hoy es el estado Lara, en Venezuela. El espécimen fósil fue hallado en una capa del Mioceno inferior de la , y contiene una mandíbula parcial y un fémur asociado a esta.​ Los restos fueron encontrados en depósitos con abundante presencia de hojas y madera propios certa de la línea costera, lo que indica que este género prefería hábitats tropicales cercanos a la costa.​ (es)
