Cueva del Milodón Natural Monument
Cueva del Milodón Natural Monument is a Natural Monument located in the Chilean Patagonia,〔(Ciudad de Puerto Natales: Cueva del Milodon )〕 northwest of Puerto Natales and north of Punta Arenas. The monument is situated along the flanks of Cerro Benitez.〔C. Michael Hogan, ''Cueva del Milodon'', Megalithic Portal, 13 April 2008 ()〕 It comprises several caves and a rock formation called ''Silla del Diablo'' (Devil's Chair). The monument includes a cave which is notable for the discovery in 1895 of skin, bones and other parts of a giant ground sloth called Mylodon (''Mylodon darwini'').
==Milodon Cave==
The largest cave in the monument is the 200 m long Milodon Cave. It was discovered in 1895 by Hermann Eberhard, German explorer of Patagonia. He found a large, seemingly fresh piece of skin of an unidentified animal. In 1896 the cave was explored by Otto Nordenskjöld and later it was recognized that the skin belonged to Mylodon - an extinct animal which died 10,200 - 13,560 years ago.
In the cave and other caves of the monument have been found remnants of other extinct animals and human remnants.
At the entrance of the monument is a life size replica of the prehistoric ''Mylodon'', which was a very large herbivore, somewhat resembling a large bear. It became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch.
