From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are seven families of sloths, all under the subordor or Folivora. These seven families are:

The only members of Megalonychidae‎ are the two-toed sloths, which is why I have redirected the page to that article. Please be clear that current classification shows that the Megatheriidae (two-toed sloths) are a different family from the extinct families of ground sloths. 14Ave (talk) 23:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Groud sloths is a generic term what has been applied to a number of extinct Folivoran genera in several families including Megalonychidae. This family was erected on for the genus Megalonyx and thus the family is invalid if that genus is NOT included in the family. Please provide references showing that Megalonyx has been removed from the family and the family renamed per ICZN regulations. Untill that time plaes stop redirecting the page to [two-toed sloth]]s--Kevmin (talk) 23:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update needed

[edit]

According to newer sources, and also other wikipedia pages, the two toed sloth are nolonger part of the family Megalonychidae, but closest to extinct ground sloths of the family Mylodontidae. so the family Megalonychidae is extinct and the article needs an update Norschweden (talk) 21:35, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
