Hoffmann's two-toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra). [PDF]

J Anat
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Chromosome painting in three-toed sloths: a cytogenetic signature and ancestral karyotype for Xenarthra

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Xenarthra (sloths, armadillos and anteaters) represent one of four currently recognized Eutherian mammal supraorders. Some phylogenomic studies point to the possibility of Xenarthra being at the base of the Eutherian tree, together or not with
