''Nothrotherium'' is an extinct genus of medium-sized ground sloth from South America and Mexico.〔(PaleoBiology Database: ''Nothrotherium'', basic info )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fossilworks.org/?a=taxonInfo&taxon_no=188811 )〕 It differs from ''Nothrotheriops'' in smaller size and differences in skull and hind leg bones, but both genera can be traced back to ''Hapolops'', the genus which both evolved from in different ecological conditions. This genus formerly included the species ''Nothrotheriops shastensis'', which was later moved to ''Nothrotheriops''. These browsing ground sloths consumed roots, stems, seeds, and leaves of various desert plants, such as the yucca and agave. The species ''N. maquinense'' is named after the Maquiné Grotto in Brazil, where it was found. == References ==
