Neocnus

Extinct genus of ground sloth

Neocnus is an extinct genus of megalocnid sloth, whose species ranged across Cuba and Hispaniola. Neocnus was small, with a longe tail and a broad trunk, as well as lissome limbs and long claws. This sloth was known for having caudal vertebrae that were broad, a trait shared with other sloths, indicating that this animal, like the tamandua of today, likely used its tail to stand upright. The caniniform teeth of the Neocnus were large and triangular, and its skull was deep and had a large, sagittal crest which, when used with the deep mandible likely allowed strong exertion by the masticatory muscles.
