These New World animals (from the Americas) all lack front teeth; some have enamel-less cheek teeth. These animals have two or three very long fingers on each hand. Edentata means "toothless." Xenarthra means "strange joint." This order is divided into three suborders (and four families): Suborder Pilosa (5 species of sloths) Family Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths) Family Bradypodidae (three toed sloths) Suborder Vermilingua (3 species of anteaters) Family Myrmecophagidae Suborder Cingulata (20 species of armadillos) Family Dasypodidae Click to go to a printout ANTEATER Anteaters are mammals with very long snouts from South and Central America.

The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right. You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

Xenarthra From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Xenarthra Fossil range: Middle Paleocene - Recent Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Infraclass: Eutheria Superorder: Xenarthra Cope Orders and suborders Order Cingulata Order Pilosa Suborder Folivora Suborder Vermilingua See text for more details The superorder Xenarthra is a group of placental mammals (infraclass Eutheria), extant today only in the Americas. The origins of the order can be traced back as far as the early Tertiary (about 60 million years ago, shortly after the Mesozoic era ). The presence of these animals in North America is explained by the Great American Interchange It includes the anteaters sloths , and armadillos . In the past, these families were classified together with the pangolins and Aardvark as the order Edentata (meaning toothless, because the members do not have front incisor teeth or molars, or have poorly-developed molars). It was subsequently realized that Edentata was polyphyletic —that it contained unrelated families and was thus invalid by cladistic standards. Aardvarks and pangolins are now placed in individual orders, and the new order Xenarthra was erected to group the remaining families (which

4. Order Xenarthra Or Edentata - Armadillos, Anteaters, Sloths Order Xenarthra (a.k.a edentata). Xenarthrans, also known as edentates, comprise a small group of some of the more unusual mammals. http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/animals1/mammal/armadillo.html

Edentates (Xenarthrans) Please choose an animal from the list below: Order Xenarthra (a.k.a Edentata) Xenarthrans, also known as edentates, comprise a small group of some of the more unusual mammals. They are, for the most part, insectivores and herbivores, and are either terrestrial or arboreal in nature. They are found in the warmer climates of South America and North America, being found in Mexico and southern US in North America. Edentates usually lack incisors or canines, and of those that have them their molars lack enamel. Their teeth are held in by a single root each. Edentates have small brains. Anatomically, they have between 5-9 cervical vertebrae, whereas most other mammals have 7. Today, there are 29 species in 4 families; according to the fossil record there were at one time 12 families comprised of animals such as glyptodonts and giant ground sloths. The present-day families are: Dasypodidae (armadillos) 20 spp Myrmecophagidae (anteaters) 4 spp Bradypodidae (3-toed sloths) 3 spp Megalonychidae (2-toed sloths) 2 spp Back Home

5. Edentata - LoveToKnow 1911 edentata, the name assigned by Cuvier to an order of placental mammals apparently typified by the South American anteater, but likewise including the sloths http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Edentata

Edentata From LoveToKnow 1911 EDENTATA, the name assigned by Cuvier to an order of placental mammals apparently typified by the South American anteater , but likewise including the sloths and armadillos of the same country, and the Old World aard-varks and pangolins. Only the anteaters and pangolins are absolutely without teeth (Lat. e, out, dens, tooth), and the name is strictly applicable only to those two groups; but in all the existing representatives of the order teeth are absent from the front of the jaws, while the cheek-teeth are devoid of roots and of enamel , and only very exceptionally have deciduous predecessors. Practically this is all the definition that can be given to the assemblage, which is possibly an artificial one. It may be mentioned, however, that there is not unfrequently a separate coracoid bone Edentates may be divided into three distinct sections or suborders, firstly the Xenarthra, or Edentata Vera, of America , secondly the Tubulidenta, represented by the African aard-varks, and thirdly the Pholidota, which includes only the pangolins common to Africa and Asia . The Xenarthra are essentially a South and Central American group, some of the members of which have effected an entrance into
