Bradypodoidea
Bradypodoidea (tree sloths; order Edentata, infra-order Pilosa) A superfamily comprising the family Bradypodidae (tree sloths). These animals are unknown as fossils, probably because their humid tropical habitat fails to preserve them after death. Structurally they appear to be related to the ground sloths (Megalonychoidea).
