Imagocnus Explained

Imagocnus is an extinct genus of ground sloth from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) Lagunitas Formation of Cuba.

Description

This sloth resided in the Antilles and showed a range of body size, from Parocnus-sized to Megalocnus-sized or larger. Its relationships to other Antillean sloths are not immediately clear, though the genera Megalocnus and Parocnus, other ground sloths, are its most likely relatives.^[1]
