Chubutherium ferelloii is an extinct species of ground sloth.
This species of ground sloth shared many of the qualities as members of the Mylodontidae family. C. ferelloii first appeared in the Oligocene and died out during the Middle Miocene. It is related to the Pleistocene genus, Scelidotherium. It possessed but a few molars, like many other sloths. Only a few specimens have been found in Patagonia
