  Mylodon - LoveToKnow 1911
The mylodons belong to the group of ground-sloths, and are generally included in the family Megatheriidae, although sometimes made the type of a separate family.
In certain species of mylodon the front pair of teeth in each jaw is placed some distance in front of the rest and has the crown surface obliquely bevelled by From Owen.
In North America Mylodon was accompanied by another gigantic species typifying the genus Megalonyx, in which the fore part of the skull was usually wide, and the third and fourth front toes carried claws.

 Mammuthus’ Methodological Naturalism Moment: How to tell a sloth from another sloth
They ranged in size from the elephant sized Mylodon darwinii found in Patagonia to bear sized megathirids such as Nothrotheriops shastensis which were once abundant in the American southwest.
The results of this study suggested that in fact, Mylodons and two toed sloths are closely related to the exclusion of three toed sloths.
As Mylodons were giant ground sloths and extant three and two toed sloths are arboreal, it suggested that arboreality evolved at least twice independently, or so the authors concluded.

 Thylacoleo - The Classification of Thylacoleonids
A short description was published (Krefft 1870a) however, it was Owen (1871 1877) who first illustrated the specimen from a series of photographs of two variously shaped types of phalanges which had been sent to him by Krefft.
Owen produced figures of both types of phalanges and, by excluding all other marsupials known to have existed in the discovery locality at that time as being of the improper size, he expressed that Thylacoleo must have been the possessor of the curved ungual phalanges.
In a study (1982) Archer and Dawson demonstrated that Thylacoleo carnifex is a senior synonym of Mylodon australis.

However, besides the enormous size and lack of distinct human features, the tracks also showed an unusual gait pattern, with a wide trackway gauge of 18 to 19 inches but very short average pace length (for the size of the prints) of only about 2 and a half feet.
Further analysis was conducted by Chester Stock (1917, 1920, 1926) of the University of California, who carefully reconstructed a giant sloth foot and matched its imprint with the details exhibited by the prison tracks, confirming LeConte's earlier conclusion, and settling the matter even to the satisfaction of most earlier "giant track" advocates.

Chatwin may not have known this at the time, but he did at least discover before his journey that the skin fragment in his grandmother’s house belonged to another, more recent (but still prehistoric) creature: the mylodon, or Giant Sloth.
