In South America, one of the most important themes is the effort to discover the diet of the extinct giant mammals that lived in this continent. This paper presents new data for the species Palaeolama major, acquired by the analysis of plant fragments found in coprolites. This species possibly lived in an open area, feeding on shrubs, in the forest border.
