The mandibular body was also very thick, leaving little space for the tongue. The crown process rose up to 27 centimetres (11 in), and the articular process was only slightly lower. At the posterior, lower end there was a strong, clearly notched angular process, the upper edge of which was approximately at the level of the masticatory plane. At the anterior edge of the lower jaw there was a strong 3708: 351: 148: 999: 172: 594: 747: 4512: 5268: 1084:, which had the broad build characteristic of megatherians and was narrowed in front and behind.

The third trochanter, a prominent muscle attachment point on the shaft, typical of xenarthrans, was absent in 1273:. It also suggests that locomotion was rather slow. It was also unable to perform digging activities, as has been demonstrated for other large ground sloths, which can also be seen in the construction of the forearm, just as the manipulation of objects was minimised due to the limited ability of the fingers to move in relation to each other.
