This contribution presents the three-dimensional digital models (i.e., skull, endocast, and inner ear) of a uniquely well-preserved and nearly complete skull (MCL 4228) attributed to the Late Pleistocene giant mylodontid ground sloth Ocnotherium giganteum, discovered in the Toca dos Ossos cave (Bahia State, Brazil). This specimen was described and figured in the following publication: Pujos et al. 2026: The neotropical giant ground sloth Ocnotherium giganteum (Xenarthra, Mylodontinae) from the Late Pleistocene of Brazil: anatomy, paleoneurology, and phylogenetic relationships.
