Thinobadistes is an extinct genus of ground sloth of the family Mylodontidae, endemic to North America during the Miocene-Pleistocene epochs. It lived from 13.6—5.3 mya, existing for approximately 8.3 million years. Thinobadistes and Pliometanastes were the first of the giant sloths to appear in N. America. Both Pliometanastes and Thinobadistes were in N. America before the Panamanian Land Bridge formed around 2.5 million years ago. Order: Pilosa, Family: Mylodontidae, Subfamily: Lestodontinae, Tribe: Thinobadistini, Genus: Thinobadistes, Species: Thinobadistes segnis.
